Personally, I think Mr Woodmorappe is making the same wrong assumption you are, that fish cannot swim and survive a flood. Don't assume that just because someone is a creationist every christian will agree with him. Just because evolutionists do that doesn't mean Christians do.

Some interesting fish facts:
First, fish can swim. they can survive under water for years and years.
Fish tend to cluster near their favorite food sources and habitats, if you've noticed. Maybe you have never noticed, maybe Mr Woodmorappe has never noticed. but, anyone who has lived near water and done a fair amount of fishing knows this. That's how you catch fish. if you want grouper, you go to a certain area. If you want tuna, you go to a different area. Same with flounder, any fish, including fresh water fish. at any rate, even during a flood you can assume you had pockets of very deep water, pockets of shallow water near where mountain tops were... pockets of very fresh water and even pockets of still very salty water in areas where there were heavy mineral deposits. Overall, you would have had brackish water, but amidst all that would have also been plenty of habitat to support any species of aquatic life.

I think you have to assume that all dinosaur bones are buried very very deep to make the statement you did above concerning that. There isn't any real reason to make that statement otherwise. So that has to be called an assumption, a rough guess.

There's a guy in one of the western US states that makes a living digging up dinosaur bones of all sorts, and selling them to the general public for instance. i should find that for you, i am pretty sure I read it in some newspaper on the web not too long ago. Anyway, the bones are not real deep, and there just happen to be whole bunches on his property. He has the museums up in arms. But it's his property and he can do what he wants with it so they cannot stop him from digging and selling the stuff to whoever he wants.

Rock just doesn't simply 'disappear' btw. Most dinosaur bones I've read about are not found in rock. They are found in dirt. they are found after floods a lot of the time too, when a few feet of surface layer gets washed away. just a few feet under the surface a lot of the time, not a dozen or even 3 dozen, not even 3 hundred.

think about shells in the ocean Linda. Perhaps you have never spent any length of time near the sea. I am making a point that things decompose, erode and corrode rather quickly in the sea.

Well, assuming that ice cores are ONLY drilled from ice on land and NOT from glaciers, we won't argue about it, still doesn't matter. Ice is Ice whether on land or on sea. it floats. Please remember also that the earth is not static, that includes things on the earth, like ice. Which could have drifted in from anywhere as well as have been formed from compacted snow. I am not going to tell you that again. Another no brainer, sorry. Do an experiment. Put an ice cube in a glass and then pour water into the glas and see what happens. Them empty the glass and see what happens. Isn't Greenland called Green for a reason anyway? It wasn't always covered in snow year round. Only the past 500-600 years if I have my dates correct. i think the Scandinavians actually named it didn't they? set up colonies there and actually farmed for quite a while until the global warming stopped and started staying cold a lot more? It's highly unlikely any ice in greenland is actually 40,000 years old anyway. ask an old time Scandinavian Greenland farmer.

I do not understand your hangup with parasites now. Is it very difficult to understand that these pests live in dead and decaying flesh and other organic matter? Really, you must have seen pictures of Katrina even in England, the tsunamis in indonesia. Imagine that on a global scale. Not a pretty sight. when you were taught about Naoh and the ark as a kid, they left the gory parts out. They didn't show the dead bloated bodies floating by. they didn;t show the ark ramming into big big floating tress and limbs. They didn't show the bloated elephants, deer, tigers, rats, snakes, the still live water sankes, the still live vultures standing on the floating bloated carcases pecking at their eyeballs. The moss covered floating wood.. covered with ants... Picture it. You have to let go of your metaphorical fairy tale view of the bible, really you do. it's extremely unrealistic. Most likely, the people and animals on the ark carried their norm of bacteria and not much past that. The bubonic plague still exists you know. people still die of it. It's not as common as it once was but it's still out there. Rats carry a lot of illnesses. mosquitos too. Birds... dead bodies... you do know why people bury or burn their dead right?

Linda, in regard to the things above that I have said the answers are plain as day... if you cannot see the answers to the most basic things Linda, which I have given you AGAIN in this post... all of my explaining, or anyone elses, still won't help. And trying to discuss things like 'bottlenecking' with someone who cannot comprehend that fish swim and ice floats.. why would I even bother? Why would anyone? Honestly, how mundane and simple do you need things to be in order to grasp them? Are you completely unaware of the world around you? Don't you understand that fish swim? why not? Don't you understand that fish eat things in the water? why not? Do you think some guy goes out into the ocean and feeds the fish with fishfood from walmart every evening? Don't you comprehend that ice floats? Why not? Don't you believe that people are digging up bones and fossils everyday? Why not? Don't you know that you can find lots of fossils just laying in a field, up for grabs? Why not? Have you never seen a dead squirrel or cat with bugs crawling all over it? Why not? Everyone else has. Do you ever step outside your door? why not? You have already been given the answers numerous times, not only by me and you are still asking the same questions. do you need me to just quote what's already been said? how do i know you'll be able to read it now when you apparently weren't able to read it before?

These items:

fish swim (my cat knows this)
fish eat (my cat knows this)
Ice floats (my cat might know this)
Bugs eat dead stuff and even live in it. (my cat knows this)
Debris from trees and grasses, their seeds etc, also float (my cat knows this) and take root elsewhere later. Roots don't always die underwater.
Dinosaur (and other animal or human) bones are not always buried very deep. (my cat knows this)
Fossils are everywhere water is or has been, they form quite quickly when there is a lot of lime around (you can try that at home. slake some lime, put some marble dust in there or some calcium powder, anything really, crushed rock of any sort works best, and you will have a fossil in a few hours.)
Sea shells erode and become smooth in the sea, just like rocks also bone (eg; that's called sand eventually)
Driftwood makes great firewood to cook with and keep warm (we didn't cover that but now we don't have to)

maybe there are more I forget... anyway linda, those items really are done. Redundantly done. If you don't believe what we've been telling you about those items, you can easily test and observe any of them, perhaps with the exception of owning a dinosaur bone innudated piece of property, yourself, in your own kitchen if you'd like.
