Creationist digs up 60 million year old fossil in basement but still says Earth is 6,000 years old

Canadian Creationist Edgar Nernberg has struggled to defend his claim that the Earth is only 6,000 years old this week after he dug up a fossil that scientists say is 60 million years old.

According to CBC, Nernberg works for a local excavation company in northwest Calgary and came across a school of fish fossilized in sandstone while he was digging a basement in a new development.

University of Calgary paleontologist Darla Zelenitsky said that it was very rare to find complete fossils from this time period.

But Nernberg, who volunteers at a museum that teaches humans lived alongside dinosaurs, told the Calgary Sun that he wasn’t buying it.

idea but not the rw churches. The dating is usually found in the footnotes that run down the center of the page of that version and is absent from most other versions. I do not know when this dating was added.

Confronted with proof and does not believe.
