Dinosaur fossils are often found in coal mines. If, as creationists contend, humans coexisted with dinosaurs then why aren’t human fossils ever found in coal mines?

This mangrove discovery isn’t a big problem for evolution. Its one plant fossil of something that resembles a mangrove. Thats hardly enough to destroy evolution.

for the same reason you won’t find humans with lions or penguins with mountain goats.

Evolution has yet to be established. It is after all a theory. Its too complex to explain in this forum, however there is plenty of data available to reconcile the the age of the earth and creationism.. However, the one major tenet of creationism is faith. There is no faith in evolution.

Actually, coal mines fairly fossil-poor compared to other places.

It is my understanding that coal was formed during the Carboniferous Era, long before the first dinosaurs. I believe that the vertebrate fossils found in coal generally are ancient amphibians and the very earliest reptiles.

but but but doesn't the fact that ichthyosaurs are so dolphin-like destroy evolution? That resemblance must have happened on porpoise...
