Creationist digs up 60 million year old fossil in basement but still says Earth is 6,000 years old [View all]

Canadian Creationist Edgar Nernberg has struggled to defend his claim that the Earth is only 6,000 years old this week after he dug up a fossil that scientists say is 60 million years old.

According to CBC, Nernberg works for a local excavation company in northwest Calgary and came across a school of fish fossilized in sandstone while he was digging a basement in a new development.

University of Calgary paleontologist Darla Zelenitsky said that it was very rare to find complete fossils from this time period.

But Nernberg, who volunteers at a museum that teaches humans lived alongside dinosaurs, told the Calgary Sun that he wasn’t buying it.
