We Creationist recognize that the fossil record is complete, we prefer it as is, raw, and nothing added. We do not mislabel 98% of the fossil record extinct as a way to explain away the fact that the fossil record does not support evolutionary predictions. We also do not invent or imagine a fossil record which you call a tree of life, which is nothing more than a religious totem of unobserved and imaginary substitutes.
We make comparisons like:
* The ancient giant Cave Lion to its modern weaker descendant. modern Lion
* The ancient Giant Naegel’s Tiger to its modern weaker descendant. modern Tiger
* The Giant ancient Panthera Augusta to its weaker descendant the modern Jaguar
* The Giant Horse (Equus Giganteus) to its modern weaker descendant. modern horse
* The Giant Cape Zebra to its modern weaker descendant. modern zebra
* The Giant Donkey (Asinus Giganteus) to its modern weaker descendant. ,Modern donkey.
Just for the record i have an example of a giant donkey jaw, and the root of a giant moose horn core.
“let alone a prehistoric giant one” excuse me (asinus giganteus) is the giant donkey, if you are 100th of the researcher i am, you will find it.
Bigger most of the time equates to better, but that is not my position. Better is a separate catagory, “better equates to higher-maturity”
There is a reason why we have various weight classes in Boxing, in the UFC, in various sports leagues like football. We are talking the rule not the exception.
Many of the world’s power lifters are 6′7″.
The better refers to maturity, Pro ballers, college, high school and little league do not mix in the animal kingdom hierachy no more than you can mix and compete them in human sports.
Better refers to the higher maturity that was achieved by all animals in the past.
Every animal today has a greater ancestor without exception, and fossil books are full of giant creatures for every weaker descendant. It is giant animals that are the 98% that is removed to maintain a support for your beliefs in Cope’s Rule, that has zero examples for.
It is quite clever to remove 98% of the evidence, to promote an anomalous belief in evolutionism. It means you can’t use the fossil record to promote evolution, without trash-canning 98% of it. A belief that forces you to remove most of the fossil record should be an awakening of common sense. Its very hard for me to put myself in an evolutionist shoes as it would require to me to accept everything by authority. Seriously, how do you apply the word “extinct” to anything? when the animal that is identical to it is in the fossil record, just larger. You believe its extinct, based solely because it doesnt support evolution. 98% of the fossil record does not support evolution.
It couldn’t be more obvious.
