The fossil remains of one of the ocean’s
earliest giants have been unearthed in Nevada, which according to Mirror, is
one of the driest places on Earth. This brings to mind the global
flood of Noah’s day, some 4,500 years ago. We can forget about
evolution and its millions of years.
It is named Cymbospondylus
youngorum. This ichthyosaur had a 2-metre-long skull
and may have stretched around 17 metres in length.
Lars Schmitz at the W.M. Keck Science Department in California, a member of the
team that analysed the remains, describes it as a “jaw-dropping” find.
According to evolution, ichthyosaurs
were marine reptiles that lived between about 249 million and 90 million yearsago and had a body shape reminiscent of modern whales and dolphins. Some grew
large, and C. youngorum was comparable in size to a modern sperm whale.
This ichthyosaur was found in 246 million-year-old rocks.
Evolutionists speculate that the earliest whales
are believed to have evolved around 56 million years ago. It took another 50
million years to grow to the size some species are today.
