Being a six day creationist I believe that the Genesis flood (chapters6-9) is just as literal as the creation account itself. I intend to bring forth extensive evidence that the world was once entirely destroyed by that great catclysm and that that event accounts for the multiplied billions of fossils in the earth. No slow and gradual process could account for fossilzation on such a massive scale.
First, both creationists and evolutionists agree that rapid burial provides the best conditions for the formation of fossils. Let me illustrate what immediate burial can do.

This fossil skeleton was found at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy. This individual was buried and encased in hot ash in A.D. 79.

This couple appear to have been destroyed while sleeping together. They didn't have a chance to get away.
But what caused the following burial of countless thousands of organisms who were all crushed in the same place at what had to be the same time:

The fossil bed at Agate Springs, Nebraska. Question: did all those organisms (wild boars, rhinocerus, & extinct mammals of many kinds) all migrate to this spot just to die together? Or perhaps they were the last of the animal world with enough mobility to escape to higher ground the rising flood waters that was presently destroying the world? There are many such locations of thousands (in some cases millions) of organisms that were likewise crushed and fossilized instantly.
The next post will reveal the location of the strata where these animals were buried.
