There are other watery environments - yep, but they don't normally bury dead animals and such rapidly in sediment.
Dude. Have you ever swam in a lake? Lakes are --newsflash!-- frikkin' everywhere. Another fact about lakes: many of them have muddy bottoms.
Here's a fact about animals: they like to hang around bodies of water. Do the math. Animals commonly die and/or are hunted around bodies of water.
Let me cut to the chase. Modern science wholly rejects the idea that fossils were created a mere few thousand years ago during a worldwide flood. Where do you stand on the issue? You seem a like you're dodging the issue a little bit, man. Though, admittedly, I'm a bit behind the curve in this thread.
(BTW, I'm not trying to nitpick. I'm just debating the issue. I noticed that another user hit you with a "citation needed" in another thread. I wasn't trying to pile on there or anything. It was mere coincidence that I used the same phrase to request sources from you. Sorry if you're feeling like a human bibliography.)
We weren't addressing "when" so not sure where you are going with this. We were discussing "how" which is what I was responding to. Prior in the conversation, we already established "when" when Peeblo asserted the "Bronze Age."
Dying in water doesn't automatically = fossil. If something dies, more than likely it will be dinner for something else. Same thing on land or it will just decompose.
No problem though. I get why you asked for a citation.
