Sirenian Mammal Puns

There are a few explanations creationists give as to why the ordering of the fossil record can be compatible with a global flood. Andrew Snelling explains what they would be in. (The article here)

It still doesn’t make sense though. The first aspect he addresses are that they represent distinct ecosystems. He uses an example that in the Grand Canyon and the overall Colorado River region, cacti are always found in deserts and pine trees in alpine areas. (Except when they aren’t)The lower parts of the fossil record represent low tropical zones and the higher parts representing higher altitude mountains. Ecosystems are not entirely separate entities completely isolated to each other. They are all connected to each other and the plants and animals that inhabit them can often survive in multiple ones. A flood burying multiple habitat types does not explain the layering of the fossil record that we see in context. The Paleocene and Eocene periods have assortments of fossils living in obviously tropical environments, yet they’re in layers above the Mesozoic and thus, there are no non-avian dinosaurs or pterosaurs and primarily relatives of today’s mammals and birds, along with many lizards, crocodilians, snakes, turtles, and amphibians (amphibians supposedly needing to be buried in lower layers because they’re “too immobile”) Fossils of primates like apes and monkeys which also require tropical habitats to survive are only in Cenozoic layers. The fact that no modern mammals that would have needed these tropical environments to survive are not found whatsoever in Triassic to Cretaceous sediments is an anomaly of probability. Another issue is that if the Cenozoic animals were living at higher elevations, flooding streams and landslides should have deposited many animals downhill, (thanks to gravity of course) and potentially bury them in areas of lower elevation where all non-avian dinosaurs were supposed to be. We don’t see anything like this in the fossil record either.

Then we go on to mobility, which is still inconsistent. Birds are the most mobile of animals in his model but he doesn’t seem to include pterosaurs, who would also have just as high mobility. Why then are the pterosaurs, and even stranger, birds like enantiornithines,restricted to the Mesozoic sediments and only modern birds to the very end of the Cretaceous (

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

They’re on standbi

Buenosdillas

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Edit:

Notable mentions from the comments:

There hasn't been a single post this year!

Nothing, it just waved

So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!
