[_ Old Earth _] Is there proof of a geologic column?

Is there proof of a geologic column?

 

[John]

No. Polystrata fossils, missing layers, layers out of order, misplaced fossils, and layers in reverse order all invalidate the geologic column. Not to mention that certain" index fossils" are alive today.

So the only place the geologic column exists is in the textbooks and the minds of evolutionists?

I think there is like 20 odd places where the fossil line up the way the evolutionists wish but everywhere else they are jumbled, but they never present that to the kids.

What do you mean by 'jumbled'? Do you mean lethosauruses mixed in with gazelles, for instance; or ichthyosaurs mixed in with dolphins?

And what is your interpretation and understanding of the '20 odd places where' - you allege - 'the fossil line up'?

And insofar as the surface of Earth is geologically active, if the geologic column is an explanatory reality, why would you expect it to be present in its ideal form everywhere? Or even in most places? Or even in quite a lot of places?

Polystrate fossils suprise no one familiar with geology. Some of them are forming in a lake near where I live. The confusion is based on the creationist misconception that sedimentation much occur everywhere at a constant rate. Simple observation refutes that idea.

And I'd be pleased to hear where the geologic column is out of order, (as opposed to missing layers, which is what happens in areas where erosion was greater than deposition at the time) where there is not some folding or other unconformity.
