[http://www.i-newswire.com/most-stylish-mens-watches-2012/188275 this month]  Undoubtedly you have heard the claims from young earth creationists about living fossils. A &quot;living fossil&quot; is an patient that's thought to have been extinct, and then it appears alive on the world. The claim by young earth creationists is that these living fossils are proof that the earth is young. The thought is that since all creatures were alive only 4,300 years back, prior to the time that they date the Flood of Noah, then it's reasonable to assume that they are still alive today. I am sure everyone is conscious of the most popular living fossil, the coelacanth, the fish considered to be extinct 65 million years ago. In 1938, a was caught off the coast of South Africa, and ever since then a few more have already been caught and examined. Besides the coelacanth, several examples are given by Answers in Genesis in the articles related above. Identifying an Organism's Life Time  [http://www.squidoo.com/cartier-mens-watches-uk best mens watches talk]  How is a fossil's life range is decided? When an organism is within the fossil record, paleontologists try to find the oldest and youngest specimen to ascertain it's life variety. For instance, if the oldest example of a of dinosaur is in a rock formation dated throughout the Berrasian Age of the early Cretaceous, then a earliest this dinosaur endured is all about 140 million years ago (140 Ma). If the example of this same species is from the Turonian Age of the Late Cretaceous, then it died out about 90 million years back. Ergo, the dinosaur is said to have lived from 140 to 90 Ma. After this date range is published, still another trial of this dinosaur is uncovered in a rock mattress dated to the Santonian Age of the Late Cretaceous. Does this mean the sooner days were wrong...obviously. But the wrong times weren't based on anxiety, but on a lack of full evidence. Today, this dinosaur's life is said to be from 140 to 84 Ma. Experts get this sort of change all the time. New fossils are located, extending the life of the patient due to new fossil discoveries. There's no trick or deception on the part of the scientist...he/she is merely interpreting the available evidence to attain a conclusion. What happens each time a fossil species is located to be alive, including the coelacanth? It's known life is extended...that's it! It doesn't ' mean the earth is young, it doesn't even give good evidence for a young earth. For the coelacanth, its life was extended from 400-65 million years back to 400 Ma to the present. Nothing more can be implied out of this information.

The true scientific world would simply modify its lifespan to 140 Ma to the current. There would be number anxiety in the medical world...they if our planet is really only 6,000 years old wouldn't wonder. The remainder of the evidence clearly shows a classic earth, and one living dino would not contradict that. The current presence of a living fossil certainly not is evidence for a world. Yes, there are fossils that sporadically show up living, but there are millions more which are gone, which went extinct millions of years back, and there's no evidence they are alive today. Therefore, we have millions of extinct species, and a handful of so-called &quot;living fossils&quot; which have a difference of millions of years in the fossil record. The evidence clearly supports millions of years of termination, and a classic world. When a &quot;living fossil&quot; is available, YECs naturally join it and proclaim it as proof of a world. But, when they grasp only at that one straw and bring awareness of it, they're overlooking the 50 foot large haystack from where it came from.
