There’s a big problem with trying to use the so-called “fossil record” to prove evolution. Actually there’s a TON of reasons— but here’s the short version.
1) The strata aren’t in order. And don’t give me any bullcrap about earthquakes or similar malarky. They aren’t in order now and there is no way in hell they ever were.
2) Barring mummification or other forms of human intervention, to create a fossil, 99.9% of the time the creature must be BURIED ALIVE.
The so-called fossil record was created during major catastrophes in the course of history. That’s why there are huge gaps. Thats why things aren’t in order, because the things that died in one catastrophe and were buried and created fossils were whatever happened to be in that area when it was time for that catastrophe to hit. Then the next catastrophe hit and another dozen or so so-called “layers” got laid down, and your bacteria end up on top of the dinosaurs.
Simple. Logical. And the scientists will never accept it, because they are way too stuck on stupid blind faith in their god of Evolution.

"There’s a big problem with trying to use the so-called “fossil record” to prove evolution. Actually there’s a TON of reasons
but here’s the short version.Not always. In some areas there have been upheavals which jumble the layers.
"And don’t give me any bullcrap about earthquakes or similar malarky."
I wouldn't think of giving you "bullcrap," but earthquakes, landslides and volcanos are not "bullcrap."
"They aren’t in order now and there is no way in hell they ever were."
What scholarly research papers are you basing you assertions upon? Go ahead, look them up, I'll wait.
"2) Barring mummification or other forms of human intervention, to create a fossil, 99.9% of the time the creature must be BURIED ALIVE."
Absolutely, patently and utterly false. Please provide citation from a peer-reviewed journal supporting your "buried alive" assertion and your "99.9%" statistic. Again, I'll wait.
"The so-called fossil record was created during major catastrophes in the course of history. That’s why there are huge gaps.

Didn't you just proclaim that those creatures turned into fossils had to be "buried alive?" No you say they died and were buried. Keep your silly story consistant, please.
"Then the next catastrophe hit and another dozen or so so-called “layers” got laid down, and your bacteria end up on top of the dinosaurs."
Indeed, in the eras of the dinosaurs there were many, many kinds of bacteria. To suggest otherwise would be folly.
"Simple. Logical. And the scientists will never accept it, because they are way too stuck on stupid blind faith in their god of Evolution."
No, it is indeed simple; simple in the mode of simple Simon.
Your assertions are NOT logical, they are fucktarded.
Science is not blind faith, in fact, it is the opposite of blind faith. Science requires evidence, good, solid evidence.
The ToE is not a god. You might want to consult a dictionary. Get someone to show you how the dictionary works and have them help you look up evolution and god.
1. No, most of the time the strata are in order. Every now and then, they get mixed up due to tectonic shifts, but things like that tend to leave evidence of their occurrence. There are plenty of places in the American West, for one, where different strata lie stacked on top of each other with each layer older than the one above it. The Grand Canyon is one such place.
1. True, in many places the neat organization of the strata has been disturbed by natural forces, but they aren't all that difficult to piece back together. alive from.
sorry, but the fossiles were not created. In fact, they were used as amulets by the ignorants who didn´t know what they actually were. THEY WERE THE SCIENTIST THAT FORMULATED A THEORY AFTERWARDS. Second, the animal was not buried, as you know, the natural world has a lot of catastrophes which these animals COULD NOT PREVENT. And third, there are other methods APART FROM THE LAYERS and sorry if you don´t accept the theory of earthquakes and so. That it contradicts a book written by ignorants who didn´t know what an earthquake is in the first place or THE PERIOD OF A WOMAN, and you want to believe it, it´s your problem.
Gosh. I remember a time when there used to be these things called...what was it now?....oh yes, books! Other books, I mean, apart from the bible. When we were young, if we wanted to avoid looking like complete tits by opening our mouths and pontificating on subjects we actually knew nothing about, we'd get hold of these mysterious things (from a place called a library, I beleive) and make sure we had our facts straight. Why not give it a go? Surely that's better than going through life giving people the impression that you're a dimwit.
1. There is no "god" of evolution.
You would think I would not continue to be so amazed at the utter bullshit these people spew, but I am. I read quotes like this and my jaw just drops. Seriously, can any of you fundies actually read anything? Have you ever once opened your mind to anything other than your bible (which I also wonder how many of you have actually read).?
"The strata aren’t in order."
Now this is quote is a possible award winner. Its got all the elements: lack of understanding of basic science, incorrect "facts", weird claims, arrogance of assuming the poster knows far more than the scientists and anger the poster can't quite conceal.
Another thing to consider-
The strata aren’t in order. And don’t give me any bullcrap about earthquakes or similar malarky. They aren’t in order now and there is no way in hell they ever were.
"god of evolution"? Do you mean Christ, Allah, Krishna or Deism. You know that some Biologists ARE believers... not that a diety is necesary to follow EVO DEVO...
so what point are you trying to make? Because scientists understand the strata a hell of a lot better than you cut and paste cretins.
2) Barring mummification or other forms of human intervention, to create a fossil, 99.9% of the time the creature must be BURIED ALIVE. Bloody idiot. Get a clue before you spread stupidity
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
