Scientists have dug through most of the earth and pretty much know where to find what kind of fossils. This is why in recent years the scientists have made many discoveries.

Wow! They must have been in quite a hurry.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

The exploration of the earth's geology in recent years has been quite extensive using modern technology. No hurry, just extensive use of technology for everything from mineral wealth, water resources to fossils and research into the history of the earth. Actually the collection of data in these fields exceeds the scientists ability to use all the data. Example, geologists knew where the diamonds could be found in Canada more than thirty years before they got around to actually researching the details of the data and mining them.

There are many many fossils in the world.


I was trying to give an explanation to Meatros about why there are not very many fossils found (I think this is what he meant)

Why don't the evolutionists try to give an explanation of why we don't find so many human skeletons as we can expect from millions of years of evolution?<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>


Who expects to find so many primate fossils? Scientists surely don't and the reasons are obvious. The environments where humans lived is on land and the early huumans and our ancestors lived in warm climates where there are many animals, insects and weather that destroy most remains of life in the intensive cycle of life. The coast lines where many of our ancestors lived is now under the sea. But despite this handicap, they are finding more and more today because we have learned where to look. Ancient lake and river sediments do bury remains quick enough in periodic floods so that we are able to find some fossils. Forty years ago the total number primate fossils could be placed on the kitchen table with room to spare. We know have over one hundred times that number.
