I'm glad the guy didn't just bury the fossil. Seems like creationists would like them to stay buried, but this guy had a chance to re-bury one, and didn't take it. He may get some blowback from his fellow creationist brethren.

So much for, "The truth shall set you free!"
And so much for being part of the solution or part of the problem.

Wouldn't matter.  The cat's already out of the bag.  All they can do now is stick their heads in the sand and encourage others to do the same.  Sadly, that works in some parts of the world.

  Not at all, all fossils are just proof of the flood to them

Evolution is probably the slowest biological process on planet earth, the only one that comes close is the understanding of it by creationists.

Yeah, that's the part I don't understand, that they accept the existence of fossils (although I have heard some claim that fossils are created by the devil to mislead humans), but so insanely misinterpret them.

I should like to know how they explain the total and complete lack of millions of human fossils caused by the flood.

No, on second thought, I don't care what their "reasoning" is.

How do Creationists rationalize their belief that the universe is 6,000 years old with such discoveries, especially when they're the ones to make such discoveries?

You used "creationist" and "rational" in the same sentence. You get ten years on the naughty step.

Nope, rationalize != rational xD.

You can't type "rationalize" without typing "rational". So there!

I can 'relate' to that--and my DIEt's are always too 'late'.
