Letter: Mind NOT blown about shark in KY Rickie Williams writes: For anyone with a basic knowledge of Old Testament writings and particularly the scriptures pertaining to 40 days and 40 nights of rain, there should be no surprise to this finding at all. The statement about 330 million years old is bogus as well...and for the same reason. About 35 to 40 years ago coal was produced in a laboratory setting using common kitchen trash can garbage placed under the estimated pressure that the surface of the earth would have encountered if totally submerged in water. Yet coal is said to be millions of years old. A fossilized tree was found while digging coal in Eastern KY...but it was upside down...roots up...branches down. Now how could that be??? Ever looked at the debris at the bridge on Hwy 206 just out of town after a big rain? Folks we have never seen a big rain from Noah's perspective.Comments re: Sharks in Kentucky?
