You tell 'em, Edgar!

[Jack Glass]

I'm delighted to report that Christian Edgar Nernberg struck a blow for Jesus when he humiliated atheist scientists in front of the world's media.

When he found so called "fossils" in his basement, he immediately recognised them as being hundreds of years old so he took them along to his local university to help educate the youngsters.

Immediately, the atheist professors tried to tell him that his find was over 60 million years old!

They even made up a name for it "The Peskapoo Formation"! Peskapoo! I shouldn't laugh, but if you're going to invent a name, at least try to make it believable and not smutty!

In the face of this outrageous attack, rock solid Edgar stood his ground and told them in no uncertain terms, “There’s no dates stamped on these things."

The atheist scum shuffled off, exposed and embarrassed. Another victory for the Lord.

Re: You tell 'em, Edgar!

Thank you for sharing this story with us. So he found "fossils" in his basement and the secular professors said they were millions of years old. How old would that make the house, exactly?

Also, they were FISH fossils! In Evanston Alberta, around 600 miles from the nearest ocean.

Scientists are very keen on something called Occam's Razor, so let's apply it here. The simplest and therefore most probable explanation is that someone who lived in that house used to keep a fishtank in the basement rumpus room and the cat snuck down there.

QED, Scientists!

That is the perfect answer! And since there is no date stamped on fossils, and we know that stratigraphy and "absolute dating" techniques are baloney, the only logical explanation is the one Sister Joanna gave.

I guess there may be an alternative explanation, though: maybe these are the dead fish from the time when the Flood receded - as we know, all earth was covered in water at that time, which could explain presence of fish so far inland.

In any case, there are perfectly logical (meaning consistent with the Bible) explanations of fossilized fish on land, which do not require making up names of nonexistent geological periods.

Oooh, Sister, get you and your sciency words! I like that one a lot, it's really plausible and sounds just like the sort of thing they say. But you made it up, didn't you?

That sounds like a very reasonable explanation, but it doesn't quite account for why the dead fish was in the basement of a house which (and I'm just guessing here) was probably built long after the Flood.

Well, according to my computer spell-check "stratigraphy" is not a real word, so yeah, I might have made it up. (My spell-check also wants me to correct "syncretism" to "cretinism," which certainly makes a lot of sense).

I think your assumption is a very logical one, and therefore your hypothesis must be correct!
