No.



Climatologists know all about glaciation, and that "global warming" has nothing to do with it.

Except carbon levels in the atmosphere have changed through time.

The earth could be 100,000 years old. We don't know how much carbon trees were subjected to 15,000 yeas ago, so our baseline for home much should be remaining is a good guess.

Obviously it's global warming caused by ancient pre-historic corperations and republican dinsosaurs. If they only had the U.N. 52k years ago to inact carbon taxes those trees would not be underwater.

So, not to turn this into a debate (yes I am ), but if the wood will be gone within a few years because of marine life and being exposed, and the only thing that has preserved it is the fact that it was buried under sand and protected from the elements, life and oxygen.... what happened to it that it was so rapidly buried that it didn't have a chance to decompose?
I mean, they are saying themselves that it is a 52,000 y/o (the guy in the video said it was 12k y/o), and it is 60ft. down.
Well, if you look at the rate of sea level rise as it is believed by many to have taken place, 12k years ago that forest was above water, and 22k years ago it was 70' above sea level, when the most recent ice age was happening.
Additionally, they allegedly survived several cycles of being under water and then back above sea-level over the coarse of these thousands of years, all the while being protected from oxygen and decomposition. Wood that is buried under earth or sand, but above water is subject to decomposition. The only trees that people find on dry land that is preserved and not decomposed, is petrified wood, and this is not petrified wood, nor could it ever have been (two very difference things).  

Either those trees were buried over a period of thousands of years (in which case they would have decomposed long before they were preserved) and survived intact despite impossible odds and circumstances, or they were preserved in a catastrophic event that buried them near-instantaneously and they have remained buried and submerged since then.

Hmmm... something doesn't add up.

I'll say it, there's nothing wrong with them finding what they found but their atheistic interpretation applied to the evidence is wrong.  It would be funny if this is rather evidence of the unpredictability of carbon dating, but not being a scientist that's for greater mind than me to consider.   The Word of God gives me a geneology back to Adam from the Christ.  God's Word is very clear and literal in Genesis about how God made everything in 6 days and it was evening and it was morning etc etc.   I'm sorry you can't fit tens of thousands and millions and billions into it.  If you don't believe in Genesis as it is written and understood literally by both Jesus who is God, and the Apostles, you have no foundation for the rest of biblical history and theology.  All of a sudden there was no fall, death came long before Adam sinned, who was Adam, where did marriage come from, why do we need a savior, why is God's description and order so wrong?  I personnaly trust the man who rose from the dead and affirmed himself to be God, and those men like Moses, king David, and Paul, over some atheist scientists who've already rejected truth.  I don't expect any atheist millions/billions of years guys to agree with what I'm saying but you Christians need to face the fact that evolution, intelligent design, big bang, multiverse, steady-state, billions of years, 52,000 year old undersea forest theories are unbridgeable contradictions and thinly veiled attacks on the trustworthyness and historicity of Scripture.   I know some of you guys were hoping for a post like this so I had to ablige you.
