Late Triassic Wildfires

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
(2 Timothy 4:3-4) NKJV

What really matters in the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop)? Location, location, location. Were forest fires an extinction event at the end of the Triassic? Or did a few burned trees get fossilized?

First Mammals; Rise of the Dinosaurs

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
(Job 30:29) KJV

First mammals? A place where mammals were buried doesn’t make them the first mammals. The presence of mammal remains in sediment is used to place the sediment in timeline of the evolution narrative. That’s what you call circular reasoning.

Decline of Glossopterids

In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
(Revelation 22:2) NKJV

In real estate it’s location, location, location. In Paleodoublespeak its location, location, location. Glossopterids didn’t inhabit a savanna ecosystem with arid to semiarid climates, so there aren’t any.

Rise of the Cycadophytes, Ginkgoales

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
(Proverbs 15:4) NKJV

The Triassic wasn’t rise of the cycadophytes and Ginkgoales, it’s the preserved remains of cycadophytes and Ginkgoales because their habitat was destroyed and buried in a world-wide flood. That’s Paleodoublespeak.

Arid to Semiarid, Savanna Type Climates

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
(Exodus 3:1) KJV

The paleoenvironments of the periods of geological history that we’re seen so far include a statement about climate as a way to rationalize why so much sediment would be eroded, transported and deposited.

Triassic

I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
(Malachi 1:2-3) KJV

The Triassic is another microcosm of inductive reductive circular reasoning that we may wryly refer to as an “eddy in the space-time continuum.”
