A Case in Point

Whenever you read an article in a scientific journal, look for facts that obliquely refer to evolution. In the article below, consider the words in the first paragraph "this 230 million-year old" and then in the final paragraph: "with sediments slowly raining down and accumulating at the rate of about 1 millimeter per year"

If you refer to an almanac you will see that the average depth of all oceans is 3795 meters. With this fact, let's figure how much sediment would be on the ocean floor if the fossil was really 230,000,000 years old:

1mm=100 years
1cm=1000 years
1m=10,000 years
10m=100,000 years
1km=1,000,000 years
2.3km=230,000,000 years

This means that the ocean was 2.3 / 3.7 of the way full !!!
What do you think?

Smallest fossil reptile

Paleontologist Martin Sander has found what may be the smallest known skeleton of an extinct reptile species. He reports in Feb. 12 SCIENCE. Measuring 51 millimeters long or slightly more than 2 inches. This 230 million year-old member of the Neusticonsourus species reached only 22 percent of the average adult length. Neusticonsourus was an aquatic reptile that frequented warm coastal waters.

Storms at the bottom of the sea

The dark abyss at the bottom of the ocean was thought to be quiet and almost totally at rest, with sediments slowing raining down and accumulating at a rate of about 1 millimeter per century. But photos taken in the 1960s shook that peaceful image by revealing signs that the sediments often shift position after they are on the bottom.
