Hello everyone,

Just read an interesting article on yahoo. The article states that they found fossils of whales in the desert???

news.yahoo.com...
also check this out, dated back 2008, whale in Egypt
engineering.curiouscatblog.net...

This brings up so many questions to myself:

1) Could Earth be full of all water like lets say 95% water?? or maybe even 100%

2) Was there a massive tsunami that occurred in ancient times, that caused whales to arrive in land?

3) Also, do you guys think that pyramids were built under water??

. Think about it, pyramids under water much easier to move a rock in water, than land. Also, what if water started evaporating due to sun's heat and now we are finally seeing land appear.

I believe it can be possible for people in ancient times to build pyramid under water, because they were much stronger, remember we are loosing our skills and knowledge as we progress in the future. looking at the back and sculptures on the wall, you can see the Sumerians had wings, what if some people can live only in water, with great human strength.

imagine a saber tooth tiger now look at the original tiger. Saber tooth tiger much stronger and fully evolved.

imagine a mammoth, now compare a elephant with it. Also the mammoth much bigger with fully developed tusk's than a normal elephant.

now imagine a human, now we think of humans were just like us NO. Its basic knowledge if animals were stronger and much more evolved in the past, so were the humans, but as we move in the future, we are slowly loosing our great abilities.
I need your guys opinion on this subject, Thanks

Wait for it . . . . Wait for it, Someone will be along in a moment to tell us that this proves the bible is 100% correct as this will clearly be from the great flood . . . .lmao.

It is a very interesting article, i was just reading it on another site, the mind boggles as to what possibilities there could be.

It may depend on how high above sea level that particular desert is. When tectonic plates push together, the land raises which is how we get hills and mountains... and so on. There were also higher sea levels in the past when the earth was much warmer than it is now so put those two things together and you have whale fossils in a desert.

Well it pretty much states their conclusion in the article.

Pyenson said the spot was once a "lagoon-like environment" and that the whales probably died between 2 million and 7 million years ago. "Subsequently the lagoon dries up and the whales die," said Thewissen, a professor of anatomy at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He said the accumulation of so many complete skeletons is "a very unusual situation."

The climate of the Earth has changed dramatically through the eras. What we now call North America was closer to the equator in the past and had a tropical climate for example.

No it just shows that we live on planet complete with plate tectonics. Its not really all that long ago (around 40 million years) that Britain was South of the equator. Large parts of Yorkshire were coral reef. All it shows is that our planet is geologically active and constantly changing.

Explanation: No! here is why...

Note the above video animation continues far far into the future as well!

this is really nothing new, OP. they've been digging up marine fossils in non-marine environments for a long time. Common sense will lead you to many plausible answers like plate tectonics, natural climate change and continental drift. The pyramids are human kind's greatest feat of technological engineering and construction; let's not belittle the memory of their builders with wild and baseless theories.

My only gripe with that video is...why so much desert in the future?

Anyways on topic.

It's due to plate tectonics, land masses moving around over millions of years ect...

I like your idea and will add to it.... Think T Rex, now think Komodo dragon.
There are also many marine fossils found in the desert of Australia.

I have read that evolution can be disproven by the theory of decay, things get worse, not better.

Evolution isn't a linear progression from good to bad or from bad to good or from lesser evolved to higher evolved. Survival of the fittest merely means that what is FIT ENOUGH to pass on its genes to the next generation survives. This is why even versatile and seemingly awesome species (pick your favorite dinosaur) died out or evolved into something totally different. Animals were not "much more evolved" in ancient times, they were adapted to different environmental conditions. Survival then in the climates they lived in required different characteristics than those they evolved to exhibit now.

As for the fossil in the desert, there are many land environments now that used to be underwater. This is simple logic but with ever shifting volcanically and tectonic-ally active system on a planet that's at least 75% covered in water a good amount of what's land now was under water at some point.

Nope, what that tells us is that at one point, that part was a sea...a long looooooooong time ago.

Even when the first seas formed, the earth was never totally covered in water...not even close.
