Australian Lungfish
The fossils of a creature almost identical to the Australian lungfish were found in Northern Ireland and were dated at 100 million years. With the Australian lungfish being limited to the waters of Queensland, Australia, how did remains of this creature get in Northern Ireland? Simple. Before the global Flood, the Australian lungfish may not have been limited to its present region. Also, the effects of the Flood could have moved this creature to the area of present-day Northern Ireland and buried it for people to find later. These fossil finds are an amazing testimony to God’s hand in creating the lungfish kind and to His hand in covering the entire earth in a global Flood.

You. Are. Very. Stupid.
Slow enough for you?
So, this similarity in "design" is all you got? And you will hang on to it, conveniently ignoring the huge mountains of problems on so many levels with any kind of global flood? You people are pathetic. Sometimes I wonder if you look at yourself in the mirror and find what you see disgusting. Knowingly lying like that every day, after all, must have at least some effect on your self-esteem.
No?
Shame...
Dear Mr. Answers In Genesis,
Why are lungfish only found today in Australia, South America and South Africa - all continents that 'evolutionists' say were part of the giant prehistoric landmass of Gondwana?

Also amazingly, Australia wasn't invented until after the bible was written because people in ships almost sailed off the edge of the world. Since it was new, some old animals like the lungfish were able to be put there and spare parts from other animals lead to the creation of the platypus.
Good thing God created that landmass to save those sailors. Also he made it out of chocolate.
Climate change. Oh yes. It happened back then, too, but not as quickly as it's happening now. Also, the world's continents weren't like they are now, so it's very likely that area that became Northern Ireland was much warmer 100 million years ago.
People who lie to kids, in order to keep them stupider than the parents I would guess, should be prohibited from contact with kids. If you want your own kids to be mindless slaves of superstition? We can't stop you. However, I think that long prison sentences are in order for anyone who would fuck up someone else kids with this shit.
Sponges and blue-green algae are even older than the lung fish, why are they still around Mr. Smartipants?
Just how does one shut off their brain? I tried as a fundie, I really tried, but it screamed and kicked up a fuss.
Lungfish in Northern Ireland?
Ah yes, but was it a Catholic lungfish, or a Protestant lungfish?

Fixed.
Almost identical does not equal identical. Similar structures evolving independently throughout the animal kingdom are the norm. The eye, for example, as evolved at least 40 times independently.
Please stop lying to children. You are ruining their chances of being competitive in the modern world.
"almost identical to the Australian lungfish"
Which would suggest it's not identical but similar.
I think it should be criminal to present this kind of garbage to kids as real science.
And in the animal world, "almost identical" doesn't mean "the exact same animal."
And I would think that the simple fact of it being a lung fish would be evidence of evolutionary theory. But no, "God made it that way."
"almost identical"
But not quite, eh?
See, the thing about fish is that the seas are all connected and pretty much always have been. Geographic movement of populations is a lot easier with the ocean. Not so much on land. In the ocean, all you have to worry about is regional temperature and salinity.
"With the Australian lungfish being limited to the waters of Queensland, Australia, how did remains of this creature get in Northern Ireland? Simple. Before the global Flood Mesozoic, the Australian lungfish may not have been limited to its present region." There. One simple change and you've answered your own question. That's assuming the fossils found in Ireland were in fact identical to modern Australian lungfish. That's almost certainly nonsense. How would we even know that?

...spare parts from other animals lead to the creation of the platypus."
That would explain so very much about the platypus, though.

Yeah! What school did it go to?
Lol I made a fish pun.
I've been through the whole indoctrination deal. "Be a good little lamb in God's flock" etc.
As any other proud parent, I take great satisfaction in knowing that my daughter (who is given [and takes!] every opportunity to learn that I can muster) will EAT YOUR FUCKING LAMBS ALIVE. You yourselves hold them down, and in a world where everything is a competition, I can only laugh and shake my head.
The world needs it's burger flippers, to paraphrase an oldie but goodie.

Before the present day, the Australian lungfish's ancestors may not have been limited to its present region. Also, the effects of tectonic plate movement could have moved this creature to the area of present-day Northern Ireland and buried it for people to find later. These fossil finds are an amazing testimony to evolution’s hand in creating the lungfish and to time's hand in changing the once-single continent of Pangaea to the now-seven continents of the present day."
Fixed.
The fact that Mt Everest exists is evidence that I had shepherd's pie for supper tonight. It makes about as much sense.
I can't explain it so Goddidit is not an explanation, and your stupid flood never happened. Get it? It sounds like your brain also got buried but that you still haven't found it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
