The fossil record is actually very strong evidence in favor of creation and against evolution. Many fossils are the result of creatures that perished suddenly in Noah's Flood, for example.

If it was a flood that caused these animals to be fossilised, then all fossils would be roughly the same depth under the ground.
And what about all the transition species found in fossils that trace the evolutionary path of modern animals?
And because mammoths were better swimmers than icthyosaurs, mosasaurs and trilobites, we consistently find their remains in higher flat-lying rock layers than we do those animals. Obviously kangaroos were better swimmers than primitive fish since we ALSO find them in rocky layers above placoderms, and since human remains are only found in the highest rock layers, we know that humans are the best swimmers in nature.
Ha ha, no.
“The fossil record is actually very strong evidence in favor of creation and against evolution.”
Nope. Rather, people who believe in creation can justify the evidence in light of their ideology, as long as they aren’t forced to deal with ALLL the evidence.
For example, floods do not ‘sort.’ There would not be strata from a Flood, just one jumble of sedimentary rock, volcanic materials, fossils of everything that was alive at the time, and any remaining artifacts.
Layers of lighter material found BENEATH denser materials do not indicate a single event.
"Many fossils are the result of creatures that perished suddenly in Noah's Flood, for example.”
Then explain why ALL the evidence for a given species is in ONE strata. All the fossils of suddenly dead animals, or savenged remains, their youths, their nests, their footprints, and hatched egg shells?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
