No - there's fossil evidence of 8-20 mass extinctions, depending on what threshhold of devastation you set. Generally speaking, each geologic era (Devonian, Permian, etc.) is separated by such an event. In the past 540 million years there have been five major events when over 50% of animal species died.

The only ones who think there's "8-20" mass extinctions are evo scientists who have (unwisely) refused to consult with the best and brightest in the creation science community, who (as usual) are way ahead of evos on the "problem" of multiple mass extinctions. Truth is, the only mass extinction of any import is the so-called Cretaceous extinction, which represents the activity of the Flood. Other apparent "strata" (Devonian, Silurian, etc.) are just different layers simultaneously deposited by the Flood. The appearance of the "stratification" of fossils is due to hyrdological sorting:

It is an imperfect process, which is why we see anomalous fossils:

of all types and sizes, something that the failed evolutionist model can't explain.

As for the "greatest extinction event" of all time, the so-called "Permian extinction", it's likely this isn't an extinction at all. Most "fossils" buried in sub-Permian strata proabably weren't living at all, but incomplete body parts, likely left over and unused from God's original Creation, and left buried in the earth. Instead of considering that these monstrous body parts were just that, monstrous leftover body parts from the Great Engineer, the evos put together fanciful monsters like these:

From nothing more than a few impressions in rock, which are either just body fragments leftover from Creation or randomly shaped rocks (who knows which?)

These so-called "evo-scientists" are no better at science than the clowns who think they can see the Blessed Virgin here in a piece of toast:

God never asked men to waste their lives digging down into rocks into his body-fragment 'junkyard' to find "evidence" to incorrectly interpret as "science". Instead, He gave us all the answers to Creation compactly and concisely in Genesis, so that we may spend our lives in the more noble pursuit of spreading His Word.

Again, Creation Science has far outdone evolutionary "science" in explaining the data, and leaves the field of "evolution" languishing in its death throes.

It is possible to reconcile the fact of Evolution and the fact of Creation, if one is willing to discard the unbelievable and the impossible.

For example, it is unbelievable that Evolution happened by Chance: a Creator was necessary. And a universal flood is impossible: at best it was local. And while Creation could certainly have taken six days, it didn’t: it took six epochs of millions of years.

Once that piece of commonsense has been done and dusted, everything falls into place just fine: including the Big Bang theory.

I am inclined to agree with this. And I believe that we, as Christians, do ourselves and our Faith no favors at all by tilting against the undeniable facts that Science has been able to establish. Doing so hurts our Credibility something shocking.

Instead, when Science establishes something undeniable, we need to adjust our interpretations to accommodate the new evidence. That’s only sensible.

The St Augustine article posted earlier in this thread is excellent in this regard.

Why, I saw several mass extinctions on the History channel just this week.
Poison gas from bacteria in lakes and climate change, giant asteroids and climate change, volcanoes and climate change, dinos with diarrhea and climate change, super storms and climate change... whew! I wonder if it was climate change they had in mind?

By the way...that face in the toast looks more like Greta Garbo but who wants everyone saying, “Yer face is toast!”

That’s got to be one of the most idiotic answers I’ve ever heard. EVER.

Want to pay attention to the scientific evidence this time?

Or stay living in your little dreamworld?
