what fossil record? Even darwin knew that it didn't support his theory. Evos have been trying to rationalize the non-gradualistic/catastrophic-looking fossil record for years...this is what PE is all about. My question is how do long-agers rationalize dino-bones (including dino meat) laying on top of the ground so that American Indians and other ancients could find them and use them for tools. According to evo theory, 120 million year old bones should be way down below the surface.

Oh look, it's stupidsport!
Darwin didn't know about the discoveries that have been done since his death.
Earthquakes and erosion can explain how things that have been buried for millions of years are uncovered.
According to creationsists, god crapped the universe out of his ass after eating a giant burrito.
See? I can make up shit that makes you look like a fucking moron, too. But most times you do that for us.
That's just it the fossil record is gradual, if creation was right and the flood caused all/most fossils you would expect to find dinosaurs with mammoths with humans with cows with dogs, sabortooth tigers, kangaroos, pandas, crocs, sloths, and so on. You don't find that.
Even darwin knew that it didn't support his theory.
Even if that were true (which it isn't), we have found quite a few more fossils than the ones known to Darwin over 150 years ago.

This fossil record.
Apparently, Supersport admitted on that very site to being a troll.
Ah well, s/he was good for a laugh.
@swede:PE? Premature ejection?
My guess is that he means punctuated equilibrium. Basically the idea that populations will remain constant for a long time until some type of evolutionary pressure comes along and forces them to change rapidly or die out. Of course, the fact that the idea was developed by real biologists based on their observations of the fossil record is an irony that seems to be lost on this chump.
"dino-bones (including dino meat) laying on top of the ground so that American Indians and other ancients could find them and use them for tools."
OK, Who the fuck did he get that shit from?
"My question is how do long-agers rationalize dino-bones (including dino meat) laying on top of the ground so that American Indians and other ancients could find them and use them for tools."
Weeeee don't? Because that never happened.
"According to evo theory, 120 million year old bones should be way down below the surface."
They are. They are also embedded in rock.
What Fossuil record? The one that exists. It has on average, one fossilisation event per species, so it's admittedly still quite sketchy, but that's the one we mean.
"According to evo theory, 120 million year old bones should be way down below the surface."
Evolutionary theories make no predictions whatsoever about the depth at which fossils should be found.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
