Mr Hurlbut's name is marginally funnier than his two points.
I know it is juvenile of me but Hurlbut?
Does he have friends called Biggus Dickus and Incontinentia Buttocks?
Of course I could have typed something refuting his two points but why waste time?

So you're actually arguing that cruel, pre-Flood ancients made it in a laboratory somewhere.
Okay.

Let's all just bow our heads, and have a little quiet Bill Hicks moment.
"Dinosaur fossils? God put those there to test our faith." Thank God I'm strapped in right now here man. I think God put you here to test my faith, Dude. You believe that? "Uh huh." Does that trouble anyone here? The idea that God.. might be...fuckin' with our heads? I have trouble sleeping with that knowledge. Some prankster God running around: "Hu hu ho. We will see who believes in me now, ha HA.”

"It was less able to seek higher ground than other, "smarter" animals, and thus was buried deep in the Flood."
But strangely, it was smart enough to work out the precise height of ground palaeontologists thousands of years later would deduce it would be found in using an 'incorrect' theory of development that hadn't been thought of yet. Go figure.

Ok, point 1: WRONG.
Point 2: WRONG.
I'd go into detail but I'd be wasting time.

From an evolutionary standpoint, I wish people like this wouldn't breed. But they do...a lot...even if they're not imaginative enough to enjoy it.

"It is actually an antediluvian laboratory chimera and hence an out-of-place artifact of a society already known to have been inordinately cruel."
I would mock this nonsense, except at the original link i found this:
Furthermore, the last objection of uniformitarian astronomers to the creation model is about to fall. Specifically, uniformitarians insist that Adam could not have seen the stars in the sky 6100 years ago, because the light from the most-distant objects in the sky could not have reached the earth even in 6100 years, much less in the two days between the creation of the stars and the creation of Adam. But according to cosmological relativity, clocks on earth ran more slowly, by many orders of magnitude, than did clocks at the edge of the cosmos. Specifically, they ran slowly enough for the light from the distant objects to reach the earth at the recorded time, regardless of their distance

I actually quite like the idea of prehistoric pranksters botching up monster fossils to play tricks on their descendants. A while back I even wrote a science fiction short on a similar subject. It's laughably silly to treat such a concept as a real possibility of course, but as fiction it has interesting potential.

1. Do you know what geology is? Even the faintest idea? Thought not.
2. Hang on, are you saying... a wizard did it?

Isn't it amazing how Tiktaalik decided to die exactly and only where it would make the Theory of Evolution even more plausible? Tiktaalik must have REALLY hated creationists! Then again, they probably tried to convert him and made him listen to Christian rock music* so I don't blame him one bit.
*This isn't the same as modern Christian rock music such as Creed but literally music made with rocks. Still, it was just as annoying.

Terry's IQ = 'height at which you drown' theory gained unexpected scientific support when he drowned in raindrops in his own footprints.

They're just not going to give an inch, are they? If the bible said that the sky is green they'd be denying with ardent fervor that it is actually blue.

3.It was buried by leprechauns.
4. It was dumped there by extraterrestrials because it wasn't fresh.
See, anybody can make stuff up ...
Actually, (1) is stupid: since tiktaalik was a fish, it wouldn't have needed to seek higher ground.

And if you're a Flat Earther, then you could explain gravity by saying it's just an illusion caused by a flat earth accelerating at 1 g. It is impossible to argue with antirationalists, because they refuse to understand the standards of evidence.
Of course, it is quite possible that Hurlbut is indeed a Flat Earther. Which would only prove my point.

You do realize that plants also follow the exact same evolutionary trend as animals from low complexity to high complexity as we go up the geological strata? Tell me how a deciduous flowering tree is able to outrun a flood better than a fern?
