To those who believe the bible is literally true: [Spirituality & Religion]

It's true, fossilization is very rare. But paleontologists are still able to track species across the world

....yes. And? Isn't that sort of the idea here?

You might want to make some more salient points if you want to attack the credibility of this post 🙂

@UnparalleledMonster: They can't track all species. Fossilization require specific circumstances. It doesn't just happen.

You missed the point, entirely. It happens, we know it happens, and you have to explain how it happens regardless of what you believe. Evolution, Creation, hell, even if you believe Mickey Mouse went back in time and farted to create the universe, the same problems arise.

My points were salient, you just didn't want recognize that.

@Sicarium:

lol why are you repeating what has already been established by both of us? Yes, fossilization is rare but as with other species, paleontologists should be able to find remains somewhere between the middle east and Australia.

Yeah...i still don't. What are you babbling about?

@UnparalleledMonster: Because you're assuming what should be, when it comes to fossilization, based on nothing more than your own misperception. It doesn't work like that.

If you want to be a douche, go for it. Doesn't mean I'm not going to correct bad information.

@Sicarium:

lol i'm not assuming what should be, i'm assuming that kangaroos should follow the patterns that we see everywhere else. I feel like you're maybe not too up to date on paleogeography .


No, i seriously have no idea what point you're trying to make in the second half of your post

@UnparalleledMonster: Well, Geologist here, so I'm not particularly concerned with your feelings on what I do or don't know.

Having a complete fossilized record of a specie's migration is rare. Whether you can accept that or not is irrelevant. As for the rest, it was all pretty evident, so not sure where your confusion is coming from.

@Sicarium:

So not really up on paleontology then?

You misunderstand. I don't suppose that we should have anything resembling a complete record of migration. But there if animals traveled from the middle east to australia then we could certainly expect to find some remains somewhere along the way or elsewhere in the world.

Yeah, yeah, very evident.
Let's back up here:

What was the point of saying [quote] lots of species are native to only one environment or one region.[/quote]
