evolution says , there's been life on Earth for - what ~4.5 mill yrs ?? Where are all the dead bodies ? They didnt hide them in outer space , So where were they buried ( interesting thought ? which came 1st ?? - cemetaries or civilisation ?) anyway Chris , you were saying that for every fossil the burden is now doubled , but with carcasses from over 4.5 million years , there should be Mountains of them ... abit short on ( under the ground) eh ??? Why cant the cemetaries of Millions of years give up the transitional fossils in huge over whelming amounts , At least thats the wishful thinking , but no ,....

Yes, where are all these cemetaries of bacteria that existed millions of years ago?
Congratulations, you just disproved evolution! Or maybe you should look up the term "decomposition".
Never before was a Nick less appropriate than the one of Free "Thinker".
Apparently, thinking is free, particularly when interneting, but there's no guarantee of coherence or possibly even sentience.
WARNING: Do not try this at home. Free thinking carries with it the very real danger of drowning in your own drool or of being devoured by a numptyvore. Also, whatever you do, do not try counting your toes.
Christianity says god crapped the universe out of his ass after eating a giant burrito. How stupid would you have to be to believe that?
See? I can make up shit that makes you look like a complete fucking moron, too.
getting one's head around the carbon cycle can be fairly uncomfortable thinking, for some folks. the notion that the atoms and molecules that make up your daily bread today, once made up dinosaur shit and decomposing slime mold, is no less true simply because it's distasteful.
I assume from all this that Free Thinker will not be appearing on Cosmos.
This is impossibly stupid. Thousand of insects die every hour on Earth, so why aren't we hip deep in dead bugs? Because birds and other insects eat them, the corpses rot, they get swept up and thrown in the trash by humans or morons like Free Thinker eat them.
Evolution doesn't say anything about how long there have been life. It just says how life adapts to a changing environment through random mutations and natural selection.
Ever hear about decomposition? I'd say that civilization started when we began caring for the dead, so the answer is "simultaneously".
Fossilization is very rare, silly. 99 percent of all species that have ever died are now extinct, but only a few million fossils have been found. Every single fossil is a transitional fossil, stupid.
Scientists don't engage in wishful thinking, they investigate what they don't understand.
So, the "Free Thinking" you're doing, dearie, that's all of the wishful kind, is it?
Did this moron have multiple seizures of varying strength while writing this? I've accidentally dropped things on my keyboard and come away with more coherent and structured results.
@Goomy pls
You didn't include any pictures so the answer is most likely "no".

Pretty sure 4.5 million years is a... low ball. I'm pretty sure human evolution was noted to have started at least 5 million years ago. Nice try, but go to the corner Jimmy. We all know you're a free thinker because you spew whatever gibberish comes from your mind, but here it means the dunce cap.

Most stuff decays and is eaten by other organisms, so it gets recycled, with microscopic bacteria and fungi at the bottom of the food chain. Bacteria exceed the entire mass of plants and animals and as much as a quarter of all life is fungi.
Nothing had what we'd call a "body" of any recognizable size until about a half-billion years ago. In fact, only a very small percentage of the earth's life has a body of any size even today. The total amount of plant life far exceeds that of animals, and we have plenty of oil and coal deposits containing their remains. The only thing that has much chance of still being around is hard stuff like bones and shells, and we have plenty of those. Where do you think the White Cliffs of Dover came from?
Most of the them decay. Others become fossils. Some are compressed into coal, oil, and diamonds. You know the famous White Cliffs of Dover? Millions of dead things that have piled up over millions of years.
O, where have all the flowers gone?
Some people never learn.
"Free Thinker" - must have something to do with value/getting what you pay for.
"life on Earth for - what ~4.5 mill yrs ?? "
*sigh*
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
oh crap. where to start *headdesk*
life has been on earth for closer to 3 Billion years, not 3 million
dead plants and are eaten by predator , bacteria, worms etc so generally the disappear. even bone will break down over time.
fossils require specific conditions to form. Those conditions are not that common so fossils are somewhat rare.
go to library and get a book.
"Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it!" - Jacobs, Airplane II The Sequel

Obviously that means it's not true. OBVIOUSLY. I mean, if billions of creatures have died, where are all the ghosts for them, huh. Why are there no dinosaur ghosts? SEE, EVOLUTION IS A LIE.
Sarcasm aside,wow. It really is hard to even pretend to be that stupid. I don't know how someone could live like that.
Try a museum.

Dumbass.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
