lol I don't see how this find of a bunch of dead mating turtles in any way is for or against evolution. That's just stupid. (yes I read the article)

Of course there was some event that killed a bunch of them at the same time and it must have been mating season. But to use this to prove/disprove any theories is just dumb fanboy-like behavior.

lol at this having anything to do with any biblical story lol (I am Muslim and do think a large flood of some type happened at some point).

He's just saying, that the scientific community is having a difficult time explaining it because in the scientific community at present fossilization is usually during a process of non instant death (like a sick animal dying). To involve cataclysm is a difficult step for the community because the flood proponents hold that position.

It's just human nature that's all.

The explanations are challenged by regular folks (non-religious), like the quotes show at the end of the article. The fossils that display actions (like eating and mating) pose an ongoing problem in the question of "how did it happen?".

bullshit.

I read about these turtles a week ago and the scientific article said specifically that they all new it had to be a quick event and I know I've read about other fossilization fields with the same cause.

I think the article author is just grasping and straws and wrote a biased article that is starting with false information.
