Excellent satire. Thumbs up
IIRC, the largest cache of trilobites is found in the Genesee River gorge, Rochester NY. (But that may just be local).
Yes excellent satire. (Do Luddites get satire?)
“Entombed in some of the earliest sediments of the great Flood, trilobites discovered in rolled-up positions demonstrate that many were buried while still alive. However, their sudden appearance in strata is not a mystery when viewed in a biblical contextit confirms that the Flood quickly inundated the earth, encapsulating many animals in mud in the process. Science continues to find evidence that confirms the Bible, even in these little rolled-up treasures.”
Right there, all the facts are rolled up in one paragraph further proving Creation Science.
Don’t be surprised if one day very soon, Creation Scientists find the two Trilobites that were aboard the Ark.
I hunt where many fossils are present south of Rochester down to the southern tier of NY. No trilobites but encrustations of small clam shells and also soft body fossils in the shale from the Devonian period I tend to bring the best ones home. But they are all over.
They'll know because of the ticket stubs?

As time goes on, more evidence supporting the truth of the Bible is being, and will continue to be discovered. Our God is a God of order, evidence of His hand in creation is everywhere.
Except for the feet and feet of layers which are deposited over spans of time as debris sinks to the bottom and covers what is there. The rolled up trilobites could have been caught by an underwater slide due to an earthquake or volcanism.
I believe that God made it all, but the young Earth interpretations of only six thousand years or so don’t seem to work out. He will undoubtedly explain it all to us one day.
Read the paragraph again from the article.
The Trilobites that were not on the Ark were in the rolled-up position as they were inundated by the Flood and thus encapsulating them in mud.
The two the were on the Ark would not fit this model and thus could be identified.
Unless of course some huckster evolutionary geologist has already found them and hid or destroyed them as not to destroy that little theory of theirs.
Noah had an aquarium? Is that Biblical?
I want to know if Noah and family found them good eating with melted butter.
Shift of axis, asteroid slamming into oceans, take your picks. Something big went on that probably wiped out many species on land and in the sea.
I have no evidence that there was an aquarium aboard the Ark, but there was likely some sort of tanks that were used to separate fresh water and salt water aquatic life and in one of those was likely the two Trilobites as the remainder were lost in the catastrophic burial as documented in this article.
Must have been really big tanks to put in all the sharks and whales and such. Plus having to go catch all of them and bring them back to the ark.
