This might be reasonable if we somehow knew (by divine revelation, perhaps) that evolution were really true. But, as a matter of fact, the only real evidence for evolution is this same fossil record! And this is where we came in! The zeal with which this evolutionary circle of reasoning is guarded is seen clearly in the approach taken with respect to its problems and contradictions. When radioactive mineral age determinations conflict with the paleontology dating (as they frequently do), they

Fossilization is a process of preservation of once living life forms by a variety of different processes. The most well known types of fossilization are permineralization and carbonization or distillation. Certain parameters must be met in order for fossils to form. They are a rapid death and fast burial in relatively anaerobic conditions. Any prolonged exposure to the elements will decrease the chances of fossilization.

This is an easy one. They died! Actually, this question is a very good one. In school we are told that "millions and millions of years ago" all the dinosaurs died out. We are told that they lived long before man first entered the equation. And yet, the Bible tells a far different story. The Bible tells us that God created all the animals during the six days of the creation week. Therefore, we have a problem here. These two views

While there are very few indications that man and certain extinct dinosaurs coexisted. There are many so-called living fossils that are evidently largely unchanged over the eons of time postulated by Darwinian Theory) most of the evidence in the fossil record points to special creation. It is the nature of fossil formation that evidence for man and dinosaurs being co-mingled in the geologic column would be rare indeed, if not completely absent.

When using the evolutionary time frame we usually separate living organisms into the two categories that you mentioned, e.g. modern or prehistoric. As those who have acknowledged the biblical Flood as the major factor in the creation of the geologic column as well as the fossil record, we would not by apt to buy into the classic evolutionary argument concerning change over time.

Ardipithecus ramidus, or as we have come to know her Ardi, is supposed to represent the oldest fossilized specimen or the earliest of the so-called missing links in ape-to-man evolution. She is said to predate the discovery of other hominids, e.g. the australopithecines. These precursors to man, e.g. Lucy and her australopithecine relatives refer to the discoveries of the renowned Kenyan archeologists Louis and Mary Leakey.

There is no question that M. gui had true pennaceous feathers essentially identical to those of modern birds. These feathers are not to be confused with the so-called “protofeathers” reported on early Cretaceous theropods of China such as Sinosauropteryx or the herring bone patterns found in the skin of other theropod dinosaurs such as Sinornithosaurus. These structures bear no real resemblance to feathers and may be better interpreted as interwoven collagen fibers in the dermis of these animals

Does anyone remember all the hoopla and fanfare that accompanied the discovery of Ardi (Ardipithecus ramidus)? If anyone thinks that evolutionary scientists are not given to incredible levels of hyperbole, just look at the headlines that accompanied the discovery of the allegedly 4.4 million year old newly christened species of early hominid nicknamed Ardi. Why all the publicity for Ardi? Well Ardi was deemed to be 4.4 million years old, a million years older than Lucy.
