GM>>>You have obviously missed the entire point of my fish and flood post.
THERE ARE NO ANIMALS THAT ARE ALIVE TODAY THAT LEFT A
FOSSIL RECORD 'MILLIONS' OF YEARS AGO<<<

Are you sure you want to make that statement?

GM>>>And you haven't answered my question. How do you explain the LACK of
modern fish fossils in the geologic record, when you believe that record is

the result of a recent global flood in which the modern animals are the
Survivors
of that event! <<<

Frankly, I don't know. I wasn't there. The assumption, of course, is a
geologic record in a vast amount of time and that it progresses through the
eons and eons from the primitive to the more modern. Modern molecular
biology now seriously questions the 'primitive' concept to begin with. To
quote Behe in DARWIN'S BLACK BOX again, pp 22, "Thus biochemistry offers a
Lilliputian challenge to Darwin. Anatomy is, quote simply, irrelevant to
the question of whether evolution could take place on the molecular level.
So is the fossil record. It no longer matters whether there are huge gaps
in the fossil record or whether the record is a continuous as that of U.S.
presidents."
