Your argument doesn't make sense. The fossils we find at Agate Springs are almost entirely Minocene era. We don't find significant (or any) fossils from other eras.
quote:
Or perhaps they were the last of the animal world with enough mobility to escape to higher ground the rising flood waters that was presently destroying the world?
By that logic, we should also see rapidly mobile dinosaurs as well. Palaeocastor is not exactly the fastest moving animal. Furthermore, based on your argument of mobility, how did very mobile and agile Dinosaurs not survive longer then extremely slow ground sloths?
Coelophysis was an exceptionally mobile and agile organism. Why do we not see those in the pits as well?
Are the fossils in Agata Springs sorted by density? Or are they all mixed up? Despite the lunatic rantings of creationists, denser items sink faster and therefore should be lower then less dense objects of similar size and shape. Does Agata Springs support sorting by density?
Can you name a location in the world where fossils of various eras are all found in the same strata?

Re: Enough of that
The message is loud and clear: it doesn't take millions of years for fossils to form.
While that is true, it does not address the issue of dating not to mention the sheer lack of fossils found in strata they don't belong in.
Can you find us a modern rabbit fossil in the same strata with a small dinosaur era mammal? How about a modern dolphin in the same strata with ichthyosaurs? After all, those are similar size and shape with much of the same environment. If the flood occurred, we should see them in the same layers, unless you want to deny the basic properties of water.

You either did not read my post, or you are deliberately being dishonest.
You provided absolutely no evidence that mobile dinosaurs were able to survive the flood long enough to congregate to die as the Minocene era organisms did. Providing mere fossilized footprints (of which we have many) does not support your claims.
And your interpretation of "human" print is very similar to the various hoaxes.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy.html
All your ripple marks suggest (especially since that rock is limestone or other sedimentary rock) is that such rock was at the bottom of the ocean. It takes exceptionally long times to produce that kind of wear and tear on hard rock. You can try this yourself. Get an aquarium, take smooth rock, set up an agitator and let it run for a year. You will not get the same results as the pictures you show. But if you let that rock sit for millions of years, you will.
What makes you think that deliberately ignoring the majority of my post makes your reply meaningful or even relevant?

I'm still waiting for our resident creationist to provide me evidence of how fast mobile dinosaurs died before giant ground sloths during the flood.
