Related: About this forumCalgary man: fossils are proof of Noah's flood
Story hereFrom the article:
An Alberta man who discovered a school of rare fossilized fish while digging up a Calgary basement believes the world was created by God a few thousand years ago.
It's for that reason Edgar Nernberg doesn't think the fossils could possibly be as old as paleontologists are estimating.

The article didn't dare use "fossils are proof of Noah's flood" as its title.
The article states that Edgar Nernberg is a creationist who found fossils.
The expert who came on the site doesn't say it's a proof of an imaginary flood:
Darla Zelenitsky, the University of Calgary paleontologist who was brought in to examine the five ancient fish says they likely swam in waters about 60 million years ago, which is the age of the Paskapoo Formation, a sheet of rock that lies under the city.
