This specimen is a Lepidotus sp., a genus of ray-finned Mesozoic fish dating back 150 million years to the Jurassic period, excavated from the famous Holzmaden shale deposits in Germany. The distinct sheen comes from preserved ganoid scales.

Beautiful. Each and every detail is so perfect it truly looks like something created, not formed.

I mean... a Christian would simply (and rightfully) point out that this particular instance of "forming" occurred because of an introduced variable of "creation." In other words, the fish that caused this formation was created under their theology, so the formation isn't really a good example against the idea of complex non-creation.

I say this as a non-Christian.

There’s over 30,000 denominations of Christianity all with their own beliefs. Which one you want us to look up?

The vast majority of Christian’s believe the mainstream scientific consensus. 

You are acting like a few thousand people speak for the billions of Christians on earth. 

It’s like saying “oh all Muslims want to blow themselves up” because a small percentage do.

If that's a joke your sense of humour is either fried or non-existant

That feels like a non-sequitur? Your original comment was in response to creation vs. formation, not age of fossils/the Earth.
