Over in the Great Debate thread Buz writes:
None has effectively refuted that what applies to the rock wall would apply to fossils deposited in strata deposited via a flood some 4300 years ago. Hey Buz! Here's your chance! This thread is dedicated to evidence for a recent flood. Care to contribute some of that evidence? (I just thought: are you banned from these threads? If so, maybe we could do a thread elsewhere on the same topic?)Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

In Siberia there are 5 million woolly mammoths frozen. The mammoths are crushed as if something came on top of them and pushed them down. Many are standing, kneeling or looking up. Some still have undigested food in their stomachs. Fresh flowers have been found in there mouths, which they were chewing on before they were fast frozen.
How did that massive, violent death happen? How did the woolly mammoths freeze so quickly and turn into blocks of ice? Did it happen over millions of years or did it happen quickly with lots of water and catastrophe? Edited by Portillo, : No reason given. Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.

Portillo writes: Oh, is that so? Sources please. This baby here doesn't look as if it was crushed, or something came down on top of him or as if he was pushed down. In Siberia there are 5 million woolly mammaths frozen The mammaths are crushed as if something came on top of them and pushed them down. Many are standing, kneeling or looking up. Portillo writes: This normally happens when animals fall into very cold water. They get frozen very quickly. Nothing involving a flood. Some still have undigested food in their stomachs. Fresh flowers have been found in there mouths, which they were chewing on before they were fast frozen. Portillo writes: Falling into a frozen lake, such as when the ice breaks suddenly. Easy. It happens today. How did that massive, violent death happen? How did the woolly mammaths freeze so quickly and turn into blocks of ice? Portillo writes: Mammoth fossils fall into two main groups, one ranging in age from 45,000 years to 30,000 years and a smaller number of remains from 14-11,000 years old. Therefore not even one flood, if it has anything to do with floods, anyway. Did it happen over millions of years or did it happen it happen quickly with lots of water and catastrophe? Mammoths also haven’t been around for millions of years. Only a few thousand. Something like 45 000 years.

Yeah, if something came on top of me and pushed me down, I'd be standing. 'Cos of down basically being the same as up for the purposes of creationist reasoning.
How did that massive, violent death happen? Well, I'm gonna suggest that it happened non-magically, like everything else. For example ... maybe some of them ... froze to death? That would be compatible with them being dead. And frozen.
Did it happen over millions of years or did it happen quickly with lots of water and catastrophe? The various frozen remains date to different times over spans of tens of thousands of years.

Portillo writes: Dr Adequate, this was such an absolutely ridiculously stupid "argument" that I didn't even pick it up. Yeah, sure, they will be standing and looking up when they are finished being crushed by tons of water and sediment falling on them. In Siberia there are 5 million woolly mammaths frozen. The mammaths are crushed as if something came on top of them and pushed them down. Many are standing, kneeling or looking up. PS. Did you notice that he can’t even spell the word mammoths, but that he tried to make an argument on mammaths?

Portillo writes: Portillo, are you telling porkies again? Could you please provide an example of any scientist ever that has claimed that process of forming the woolly mammoths remains we find today happened over millions of years? You know, we are educated on this forum. Porkies don't really impress us. The porkie-teller just looses a lot of face. Your sources of any scientist ever indicating that the remains of mammoths we find today are a result of processes happening over millions of years?

{abe} Oops. This should have been a reply to Portillo - but I misclicked. (I expect he wouldn't have replied, anyway.)

Ok, let's have a look at AnswersInGenesis: In Siberia there are 5 million woolly mammaths frozen.quote: quote: quote:Who was Nikolai Vereshchagin? Was he the "top expert on woolly mammoths in Siberia...who has spent nearly half a century researching the mammoth fauna[sic]" as described by AiG? Well, if he was - then he has since almost disappeared - the references to him are either on creationist sites or in reference to cave lions. I am also left asking myself:Why do creationist web-sites have to reply on unverifiable quotes from out-of-print magazines referencing obscure palaeontologists to support their arguments? I will leave you to answer that question yourself. Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

I'll answer you, as I think Portillo can't answer the post, but can only do quote-mining from people with with exact opposite viewpoints than his, but will still pretend that the quote "proves" creation.
I looked him up after your answer.
Nicolai Vereshchaginncbi writes:
This is funny:
Neurologist who introduced computed tomography to the former Soviet UnionAfter qualifying he specialised in neurology, but was increasingly drawn to an administrative career, becoming, in 1965, head of the human resources department of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the Soviet Union. For almost 10 years (1966-75) Vereshchagin worked in the central committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union as an instructor in the department for science and education institutions. However, being an apparatchik he continued to hold an honorary position as senior researcher at the Institute of Neurology.
So a neorologist being "The top expert on woolly mammoths in Siberia is Nikolai Vereshchagin, who has spent nearly half a century researching the mammoth fauna." I feel sorry for the real experts on mammoths for having to compete with a neurologist! Edited by Pressie, : No reason given.

Maybe, maybe not. It might help if Portillo gave us the exact references to how he got to the number of 5 million mammoth fossils? I can't find a reference. Except for creationist "sources", where they claim someone gave those numbers. But we know that they always tell porkies.
Portillo, a reference? Edited by Pressie, : No reason given. Edited by Pressie, : No reason given.

Did it happen over millions of years or did it happen quickly with lots of water and catastrophe? Why do you think that the Flood could rapidly freeze the mammoths? Portillio seems to make reference here to Kent Hovind's inane wankering that the Flood was caused by a massive ice meteor (comet?) that made craters on the moon, created the rings of Saturn and froze woolly mammoths standing up, started an ice age, and touched of Noah's flood, among other things. See the video below from about 2:15 to about 8:00 or however long you can stand it.
Of course, the questions of why Portillio believes that Hovind's snow job and why Portillio accepts without any credible source that millions of frozen mammoths have been discovered is something you'll have to work out for yourself. In order for this tale to constitute evidence, we need the frozen mammoths and an explanation that doesn't make people tear up from laughing. Ha-ha stop it!!! Stop it!! Wiping tears from eyes. Ha-ha!!!!

NoNukes writes: Ah. Well, I will wait for Portillo's explanation as I cannot face watching another Kent Hovind video - one was enough. Portillio seems to make reference here to Kent Hovind's inane wankering that the Flood was caused by a massive ice meteor (comet?) that made craters on the moon, created the rings of Saturn and froze woolly mammoths standing up, started an ice age, and touched of Noah's flood, among other things. But even from your summary of Kent's position it is not obvious how a 'flood + ice-age' can rapidly freeze mammoths mid-stride while in deep flood-water.Nor does it supply any evidence of a recent flood - it instead predicts that there will be evidence of a recent 'flood + ice meteor + ice-age'. This does not help the creationist's case at all. If I were you And I wish that I were you All the things I'd do To make myself turn blue

Not to mention mammoths "standing up".
