Fossilization is a chemical process involving the crystalization/replacement of biological structures (be it bone, skin, or collagen. etc.). It is a well studied and understood process, having many decades of research behind its understanding.
Quote:I do, direct observation and repeatability.
What direct observation do you believe we don't have with regard to fossilization? Please back up your respoinse with peer reviewed data.
Quote:Then how come when I ask for “proof” you keep resorting back to science? I want proof.
If you want proof, then you don't want a scientific explanation.
Quote:This is just an argument from improbability, when I make those on here I get chastised for it.
It is no such thing. You are confused.
Quote: I post, therefore, I am.
Quote:Begging the question, you used “I” in your premise which is the very thing you are trying to prove exists.
It is an action statement, indicating that human behavior is occurring. Now, dude, you don't have to take my word for it that I exist. All you have to do is take me up on my long standing offer of going on a geology field trip.
Quote:Ok, so he believes Dinosaurs and humans lived during the same time period, how does that demonstrate he believes the Flintstones is a documentary again? I believe gorillas and humans live at the same time period, that doesn’t mean I believe “Congo” is a documentary though, get real.
We have evidence that humans and gorillas live at the same time.
There is NO evidence whatsoever that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. Now, I think it is time for you to stop being so stupid and admit that:
1) you are not a scientist;
2) don't play one at work;
3) have little knowledge of the scientific process;
4) and since 1, 2, and 3 are true, you should step aside and stop interferring with the discussions of others who are scientists, do play one at work, and have broad knowledge of the process and the field.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
