[[If the fossils are the result of animals killed by the flood, and Noah didn’t take any of the fish or other aquatic animals aboard]]
Not true- He had an aquarium with goldfish and japanese fighting fish, and fresh water catfish, as well he had a freezer full of Haddock and Shark, and various other yummies to snack on which fell overboard and got stuck in the mud when hte ark hit a speedbump.
[[There should be no fossils of aquatic animals to speak of, since they wouldn’t have been killed,]]
Actually- yeah they would have died- this wasn’t just a nice little trickle event- the pressures and sediments were massive- some might have survived but it’s almost a certainty some would have died and been buried alive as we have fossils of fish in the act of giving birth that were fossilized.
Curiously, of the ones that died, it seems that in nearly every case, of the fish that were killed, all the fish of that species were killed, and we find very few fossils of species of fish that still survive today.
