Soft Tissue Fossilization (Evidence of Sudden, Extensive Destruction of Life as Per Genesis)

Fossilization occurs rapidly when the conditions are right. The conditions necessary for lithification of soft tissue give clues to unlock the history of a fossil deposit. Experiments show that microbes are involved in the mineralization of soft tissue. By decaying flesh they affect the acidity of the environment and release ions necessary for its mineralization. Fossilization in apatite seems to require associated death and decay. In the Jurassic Oxford Clay Formation in England, apatite preserved the soft tissue of many squid-like animals, probably after a mass mortality event occurred in a zone of already high phosphate levels from decaying carcasses. Apatite has also preserved gelatinous embryonic cells that deteriorate in hours. The presence of these microscopic fossils in mud rock gives clues about the conditions in which the sediments were deposited and lithified. Broken shells and sand grains found in shale, which contain soft tissue fossilized in illite, have led some researchers to conclude that the creatures were buried quickly in pulses of a dense mud flow. Soft tissue fossilization points to unusual conditions, conditions that are what would be expected in the sudden, extensive destruction of life, as recorded in the Genesis account of the worldwide Flood...

I hope I’m not being too insensitive here, but your cat’s chances of being preserved as a fossil would have gone way up if she had been washed away by a global deluge after being hit by that car :o)

I feel your pain!!! Therefore I am, free of any charge to you, sending you my favorite cat. She is lovable and quite pregnant, both conditions come and go on a regular basis so you'll never be alone again.
I'll leave the naming of her to you and, yes, we know where you are so don't try to say you don't have room. Your room will do just fine! Thanks a million!

Relax everyone. It was a rhetorical cat.

Be sure to laugh and point at your fellow evo-losers over at DU for me.

I'm still wondering why you think I'm an evolutionist.

It's interesting though, and shows how easily you lead yourself to an unfounded conclusions.

I imagine your threads are strewn with much the same.

[count-your-change]

Too late, guess what that scratching sound is at your door.

[GodGunsGuts]

Talk about unfounded conclusions! You come in from out of nowhere, start issuing insults, call me a Lefty plant, and imply that I am not a Christian...and we have NEVER MET BEFORE! That is a sure sign of Leftist, mentally unstable, evo-atheist behavior. As I said before, be sure to laugh and point at your anti-science, evo-atheist, Left Wingnuts over at DU for me.

[Balding_Eagle]

LOL! You are so wrong. Must say, your posts sound little like someone insecure. Carry on.

“Relax everyone. It was a rhetorical cat.”

If I had a rhetorical cat, I wouldn’t mind it getting run over either.

"If I had a rhetorical cat, I wouldn’t mind it getting run over either."

Or pregnant.

Thanks for the ping!
