How does the fact that?

animals have been preserved in clay, somehoe disprove the existence of God.

"Dinosaurs and mammoths that have been preserved in clay". Religious people were asked to explain this if God really exists. How would that fact disprove the existence of God. The asker could not explain himself. Any ideas?

Update:

@Nobody - The original poster also claimed that the bible says that the earth is 10000 years old, it never says such a thing. It gives no age at all to the earth.

Update 2:

How is it inconsistent with the bibles teaching? Where does the bible say that animals cannot be preserved in clay?

    Religious people try to disprove evolution to prove that there is a God as well, that doesn't work neither.

    .

    "Preserved in Clay" - I have heard of Mammoths, but not dinosaurs - - -

    If they disprove anything, it is evolution, not Creation.

    Something that is 65 million years old would be rotten now.

    [An extract from "In The Beginning" by Walt Brown]

    For centuries, stories have been told of frozen carcasses of huge, elephant-like animals called mammoths,4 buried in the tundra of northeastern Siberia.5 These mammoths, with curved tusks sometimes more than 13 feet long, were so fresh-looking that many believed they were simply large moles living underground. Some called them “ice-rats.”6 People thought that when mammoths surfaced and saw daylight, they died. Dr. Leopold von Schrenck, Chief of the Imperial Academy of Sciences at Petrograd (today’s St. Petersburg, Russia), published the following account in 1869: “The mammoth ... is a gigantic beast which lives in the depths of the earth, where it digs for itself dark pathways, and feeds on earth ... They account for its corpse being found so fresh and well preserved on the ground that the animal is still a living one.”Some even thought that rapid tunneling by mammoths produced earthquakes.

    No true Christian uses the figure 10,000 years for the earth's age - the figure is 6,000 years.

    The Bible does not mention 'animals preserved in clay' as it is not important.

    What is important is your salvation, and whom shall you believe ?

    It doesn't disprove a god. It disproves the Bible in that the Earth is much older than the book implies.

    I suppose it argues against the Young Earth Creationist conception of God/the universe - but that's about it.

    It is inconsistent with the preachings of those who claim god exists. Hence undermines their credibility.

    But then you morons conceive of god as unfalsifiable and untestible... so yeah no wonder you're a tard like that.

    because according to the bible, earth is younger than dinosaurs. so finding a 100+ million year old dinosaur while religion says the earth is 10,000 years old disproves the likelihood that the bible is accurate...that of course being only one point. there are countless others

    okay then. the story that man (adam + eve) was created first is discredited because they found dinosaurs older than man.

    Because there are people that believe in the literal interpretation of the bible.

    Paleontology, the study of fossils, definitively shows that the story of Genesis is metaphorical at best.

    The universe of matter has been around for a while.

    God is real.
