Mystery of Mammoth Extinction

Image
Mammoths seemed to be doing rather well during the Ice Age, but the number shrank and eventually they all joined the choir invisible. Scientists want to know why. A couple of the major camps slap leather with each other because they think they have the correct answer. Based on uniformitarian deep time, of course. One camp thinks that the human population surged and the Clovis people (possibly the first Americans) hunted them to extinction. Spear marks like the ones the Clovis gang used were found on woolly mammoth skeletons, but this idea has flaws.

(Yes, there is such a thing, but not the kind used by leftist fearmongers.) The scientists who think that the critters died from it point out that spears were unlikely to be so effective in hunting, and the marks were instead from harvesting the meat. This scenario has many problems as well, so secularists...

Misotheists had a grand time ridiculing it — unaware that evolutionists had been catching onto that idea. In a grandiose display of evoporn, Darwinists demonstrate that they believe reality does not compare with pure imagination: Iguanas rafted from North America to Fiji thirty-four million fanciful years ago. They must have because they live there now — which is the fallacy of  affirming the consequent . Rafting iguanas and rainbow of imagination, made by DeepAI This peer-reviewed  story is gelastic for several reasons. One is that there is no plausible mechanism. Another is that desert iguanas, not the swimming type, are the supposed ancestors of those in Fiji. Third, they could not survive such a trip. Yes, lizards have been seen rafting and presumed to successfully make some trips — but nothing nearly as long as this ...
