How do dinosaurs become fossils according to the theory of evolution

According to Ian Juby, founder of the International Creation Science Special Interest Group for Mensa members, http://icssig.org & a sustaining member of the Creation Research Society: http://creationresearch.org

Even the evolutionists have acknowledged that fossilization must happen rapidly - & can happen in hours. They also acknowledge that to make a fossil, the organism has to be buried rapidly. Now they would claim a local flood or sandstorm, but when u look at these fossil beds, they literally cover large portions of entire continents, & can be found on multiple continents - evidence that it certainly was no ''local flood.''

The science that covers fossil formation is called taphonomy. Here is a good website: http://paleo.cortland.edu/tutorial/Taphonomy&Pres/preservation.htm

Another really interesting method of fossil formation (that is not on the above site because we're just finding out about it) is the replacement of soft tissue by bacterial biofilms. http://sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/11/081124174859.htm This is what was actually behind the recent headlines about finding preserved dinosaur soft tissue.

As u can see, fossil formation depends on some unusual combinations of circumstances. If you're a religious person, I'd think you'd have to conclude God went out of His way to tell u something.

Firstly, the formation of fossils is not part of evolutionary biology; it just *uses* the fossils which form as evidence.
Fossilisation is geology (or paleontology).

Secondly, bones do not rot - they r made of a mineral (a form of calcium phosphate), & neither do shells (calcium carbonate).

Fossilisation is a rare occurrence, & only happens when the remains of an organism r buried (in sediment or similar). If these conditions exist in a single place, then it is more likely that multiple organisms will be fossilised in the same spot (for example, at the bottom of a sediment-thick lake), so *of course* u find many fossils all together in one place.

The laying-down of layers of rock is a well-understood geological process (and its study is called ''stratigraphy'') - the deeper u go, the further ago the rock was deposited. And we know (from other dating methods like radioisotope dating - but not carbon dating, which does not stretch back far enough) the ages of the deposits.

Not all animals rot. There is enough debris settling to the bottom of the ocean that some organisms may become buried. The organic matter in which they r covered rots, consuming the oxygen that would ordinarily cause the organism to decompose. Low oxygen levels combined with low temperatures at great depths combine to promote fossilization. Depending on how the layers form, one layer may represent a single catastrophe, or years of slow accumulation.

Dinosaurs fall into many layers & the layers can be categorized. Right above the last (most recent) dinosaur layer, isa band rich in iridium, one of the densest elements. A flood will not explain that. There r no large land animal in the next layers, but higher up, they r present. After that, many megafauna such as mastadons & mammoths disappear.

Well if they find them all in one place, its likely because of something like a volcano eruption which could have killed them all at once, and then quickly covered them in ash. (The same thing has happened to humans, for example in the town of Pompeii).

Otherwise, they can just as easily die on land and be covered by blowing sand, or other land mass buildup. It does not matter that they rot, we only find the bones (and bones do not rot).

The theory of evolution does not address how living things become fossilized. That is more a question for chemistry and geology.

You have the right idea, less than 1% of all living organisms became fossilized for exactly the reasons you mention. But 1% still yields a large number of fossilized organisms for us to figure out what happened.

um bones do not rot.
and have you heard of petrification?
