This week we’re answering the question “why don’t we find human and dinosaur fossils together?” Well, let’s think about what’s in the fossil record.
Ninety-five percent of fossils are of shells and corals. Ninety-five percent of what’s left is plants and algae. Then nearly all of the tiny bit left is invertebrates, like insects. Only a fraction of a percent of the fossils ever found are vertebrates, like fish, birds, mammals, and, yes, dinosaurs! So, finding a dinosaur fossil is very rare—and no pre-flood human fossils have ever been found. But that’s not a surprise since most of the fossil record is shells and corals!
