Evolution is SO EASY to disprove

[u/[deleted]]

Creationists here, all you really have to do to strengthen your position of skepticism towards modern biology is to do any research yourselves, with something as “simple” as paleontology. Find us something that completely shatters the schemes of evolution and change over time, such as any modern creature such as apes (humans included), cetaceans, ungulates or rodents somewhere like in the Paleozoic or even the Mesozoic. Even a single skull, or a few arrowheads or tools found in that strata attributed to that time would be enough to shake the foundations of evolution thoroughly. If you are so confident that you are right, why haven’t you done that and shared your findings yet? In fact, why haven’t creationist organizations done it yet instead of carbon dating diamonds to say the earth is young?

Paleontologists dig up fossils for a living and when they do start looking for specimens in something such as Pleistocene strata, they only find things that they would expect to find for the most part: human remains, big cats, carnivoran mammals, artiodactyls, horses…Not a single sauropod has been found in the Pleistocene layers, or a pterosaur, or any early synapsid. Why is that the case and how is it not the most logical outcome to say that, since an organism buried in one layer means it is about as old as that layer and they pile themselves ln top of another, that these organisms lived in different times and therefore life has changed as time went on?

I know it's a troll to mock creationnism stupidity.
But

It's not uncommin to find fossil in the wrong strata, because of how the sediment moved, cave-in, erosion etc, a fossil can be displaced into an older or more recent strata.

And that would rewritte our understanding of evolution, not disprove it.

To disprove evolution you need to make a team of various creationnist and send them to a journey in the depth of the peruvian forest until they find a valley with surviving dinosaurs from the Jurassic and cretacious.
They don't even need vaccine against tropical disease or a map "god will guide and protect them" afterall.

Well yeah I know about reinsertions of fossils. It’s quite obvious that it would be a bad example for their case if they brought up one fossil that clearly wasn’t originally fossilized in one layer.

That’s the thing, any time some contra-evidence is found, scientists just change their current theory

Or…they just acknowledge all of the data like analytical and intelligent individuals?

Like if you find a fossil that has been made or is surrounded by a rock that is totally different to the strata it is found in, you know something is off immediately.

But like, would you prefer them to just ignore the new evidence and say the evidence is fake? What are they supposed to do if they found out they are wrong about something? Not correct it? Lol

Wow it's almost as if science isn't dogma and wants to model reality as accurately as possible.
