Geologists Find 500-Million-Year-Old Feces

[dogday]

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Swedish geologists have found fossilized feces from a worm that lived some 500 million years ago, media reports said Wednesday.

The tiny piles of feces were found embedded in rock-face near Malmo in southern Sweden by geologists Mats Eriksson and Fredrik Terfelt, the newspaper Sydsvenskan reported.

Eriksson told the newspaper they examined the level of phosphorus of the samples and that "we realized pretty soon that it could not be anything other than coprolites — in other words, fossilized dung."

Terfelt described the find as "unique."

Everyone knows the Earth and the universe was called into being 6,000 years ago by the mighty word of God. God just added some worm shit that looks like it's 500 million years old to mislead scientists and other gullible types into thinking that the universe is much older. That God, a real kidder!
