Don't you ever think that a couple animals died in the same area and over time the geologic processes that would take place shifted them around, and when paleontologists uncovered them, they just managed to fit together, despite being bones from separate animals.

Okay, you harp on us depending on astronomical chance, and you're hinging this on a potential geological shift swapping bones while still having them in a position that they should look natural? Did you think about this at all before typing this out?
Hang on, let me check...
My God, s/he's right! When you look closely at Archyoptrix, you realise that it actually has the legs of a Plesiosaur, the body of a Diplodocus, and the head of a Mastodon!
How could we let ourselves be fooled like this?
So, we have these two hypotheses about what any given fossil is:
1. A single preserved skeleton.
Obviously, number two is the only feasible option!
The same way pieces from different jigsaw puzzles fit together!
Wait.. Hang on, mine's not working...
This is heresy. Everyone knows Satan put those bones here to trick us!
It's in the Bible, right before the part about the Rapture.
So you reject ToE because it's not possible everything happened randomly (beside the fact chemistry and gambling are 2 distinct fields) and then you pull an idea from your ass that relies even more on chance ?

"Don't you ever think"
You obviously don't.
“nd when paleontologists uncovered them, they just managed to fit together, despite being bones from separate animals.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
