It is astounding that someone like this creationist can have no appreciation for the scientific significance of his discovery. Even in the face of evidence to the contrary, those who chose to believe rather than know will never forsake their ignorance.
Alberta Creationist discovers rare fish fossils in basement dig (full article and video)
"An Alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a Calgary basement believes the world was created by God a few thousand years ago.
It's for that reason Edgar Nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.
"I subscribe to the creationist position, and I believe they were laid down in Noah's flood, about 4,500 years ago. But we agree to disagree."
Creationist Edgar Nernberg believes the fossilized fish he found died around 4,500 years ago, when Noah built his ark and God flooded the Earth.
He's referring to Darla Zelenitsky, the University of Calgary paleontologist who was brought in to examine the five ancient fish.
She says they likely swam in waters about 60 million years ago, which is the age of the Paskapoo Formation, a sheet of rock that lies under the city.
"I would give it a 10 out of 10 for significance," said Zelenitsky.
"There's not very many complete fossils known in rocks of this age in Alberta," she said about the fish, which are each about the size of a wallet."
