Camel fossils found in Kansas!

[Reverend_Smitty]

"The bones, which appear to have been fractured by humans, were collected from a site in Sherman County, Kansas, and studied by scientists at the Kansas Geological Survey, the University of Kansas, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Dated by carbon-14 methods at 12,200 years old, the bones could be the oldest evidence of human occupation in Kansas, and may be the oldest evidence of humans on the Great Plains."

"The finds include bones from a now-extinct Ice Age camel and two mammoths. In addition, a rock fragment found with the bones might be a piece of a stone hammer."

4. The Bible predicted this

Isaiah 30:6

"The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people shall not profit ."

There is no way you can win against a fundamentalist. The Bible predicts everything and it's all God's will.

And remember: It only appears to be old. God is tricky like that.

[HereSince1628]

6. Nope, not possible. Bible says world is not that old.

I have a fossil tooth that looks to me, an invertebrate zoologist, like a damned big horse tooth...a geologist colleague once commented "Wow, a rhino tooth."

It was found in an Iowa creek bed laying on the surface.
