All over the world, Spirit Lake, Arizona,Yellowstone, and the road behing my house, you can find petrified wood. But you can also find petrified trees running through many layers of earth, which are claimed to be millions of years old by Evolutionists tp://http://www.conroechurch.com/Graphics/Charts/COLUMN.JPG . And if it took Millions of years, than the trees would have rotted before the layer were formed. And there is no bark or roots on the trees, so something catastrophic put the trees where they are. On the bottom of Spirit Lake there are many petrified trees standing up and upside down ’I got excited at Mount St Helens!’ | Answers in Genesis .
I have heard an explanation for the petrified trees around the world going through layers that are 'Millions of years old', it is that there was a mudslide that covered the trees and petrified them, then the surrounding materials washed away and the layers then formed around the trees. There are a couple problems with this though;
1. Some of the trees are upside down, so the mudslide musthave torn up the trees, so when the materials around the tree washed away the tree would be laying on its side, not in all these positions we find them in.
2. The minerals in the trees match the layers around them.

This is obvious evidence for the Flood and against Evolution

There have been a number of previous polystrate tree threads. Perhaps you could review the rebuttals to similar arguments in Soracilla defends the Flood? (mostly a "Joggins Polystrate Fossils" discussion) and the thread that originated from. If you still feel your example warrants a seperate discussion let me know.
TTFN,
