A Global Catastrophic Event Wiped Out Ancient Forests

Fungi are single or multi-celled organisms that break down organic materials, such as rotting wood, in order to absorb their nutrients. Neither plant nor animal, they range from mushrooms to single-celled yeast.

Scientists were investigating organic chemicals trapped in an Italian sedimentary rock formation when they found evidence that an extinct fungus feasted on dead wood during a time when the world’s forests had been catastrophically eradicated.[1] What could have caused such a universal effect on forests, and why does organic material remain in rocks that are supposedly 251.4 million years old?...

"and why does organic material remain in rocks that are supposedly 251.4 million years old?"

Easy! - - Those were sandflea years...

Nice job at avoidance and misdirection…

Let’s go over this from the beginning the author stated:

The article he cited did not stated :

By analysing the carbon and nitrogen content of the fossilized remains of the microscopic organisms,

By omitting the fact that these were fossilized the author is being designious by implying that these finding were not in fact fossilized

Ira, Ira....You're straining at gnats in claiming error for what was said and what was not said is actually what is being said. Huh?

If you want to rewrite the article, do so and send it in. Then it will have the exact words you think it should have.
In the mean time you might examine the broader meaning of the word “fossil”. (and “designious” too)

[Ira_Louvin]

No Mr. Thomas is deliberately misstating the article to give a false impression.

Now you can try to dance around that and change the subject or try to redefine words but that will not change the facts.

(oop’s my bad, I hit the wring key)

[count-your-change]

You can keep saying that but that doesn’t make it so and of course nothing you’ve said would indicate it is.

So what is said means something else and what is not said means what you and only you are able to discern.

But will you address the substance of the article? No.
Ira knows what the authors and researchers meant and their intentions no matter what they say. Right.

Don’t stop now, I can’t wait to hear more.

[count-your-change]

And more graphics too. Those are the best part of your comments. Really!

"No Mr. Thomas is deliberately misstating the article to give a false impression."

Redundant.

[Natural Law]

"I am not worried in the least, however, because when I return to check into your allegations, I am confident I will find what I always find...that you have no idea what you’re talking about."

Ira,

The silence of the promised refutation is deafening. GGG doesn't seem to enjoy FR now that the disinfectant of sun light has been shined on his serial confabulations, misrepresentations, and outright lies.

[Ira_Louvin]

What substance, the entire premise of the article is based on a fallacy?

[Ira_Louvin]

Here you go, I thought you might enjoy this one

[count-your-change]

well, the artistry isn't too bad, colourful and all that, using the figures for framing shows some familiarity with composition, and imaginative........ but totally pointless.

Oh yes, and a poor substitute for understanding what you’re talking about. Where did you find that thing?

[Ira_Louvin]

There is this thing called teh photobucket, it works kinda like teh google only with pictures.

[YHAOS]

Have any of your antagonists given any tumble to the reason why you post these ICR articles and other similar articles?

[count-your-change]

Of Photo Bucket I know but don’t care to use it and the illustration is still pointless.

[count-your-change]

That purported fallacy being?

[Natural Law]

"Have any of your antagonists given any tumble to the reason why you post these ICR articles and other similar articles? "

I can't speak for anyone else but I figure it is to increase the traffic at those sites. He is probably involved in some sort of per click commission scheme.

[Ira_Louvin]

I have pointed it out to you twice now.
We are not going to play that game.

[Ira_Louvin]

Just like Mr Thomas’s article
