I just have to get into this one too..
First off the fossil record would be fair to explain what happened to the animals... a passage in the end of Ezekiel 26 I believe explains where the humans where put...
Second I believe that there were two biblical events that would explain fossils.. one the Great Flood
two the whole Babylon experience, I believe that Pangaea existed up till this time and it is here that it is broken apart and our current continental situation was brought forth.. this process would not have left as many fossils but certainly it could have...
And I also have to wonder in lew of this thought how would we be able to seperate from the fossils which were laid out in the two different events...
We would have a third type of event(s) that would cause fossils of another type, which is where the uniformitarinists talk about localised events causing fossils...
As we know it does not take a huge amount of years to cause fossils, just the right circumstance.
