fossils and catastrophism.. Funk has a question

From what I know of fossils, it takes very particular circumstances in order for an organism to fossilize.The very fact that there are so many fossils, in the layers suggests that there have been a great many, or a few very tremendous and sudden catastrophies in the history of the earth.Now if all these layers were formed as gradually as mainstream geology would lead us to believe, how are there so many fossilized organisms? I would think at such a gradual rate, that almost all remains of these organisms would have rotted and detoriated long before they had a chance to fossilize.To me the very existance of fossils points to major catostrophy. There are full large mammals frozen in the ice, with food still in their stomachs! This had to happen in a major hurry!If there have been such major catastrophies in the history of the earth, we must be very flawed in thinking that things have changed at the rate we currently observe.Maybe some of the resident geologists would like to explain the flaws in my thinking here. This was a sudden thought as I was reading through some of the other geology threads.Please forgive my spelling, I'm having one of those days when the english language looks and sounds absurd to me. ------------------

Your saying there are a very few fossils because you are assuming your right that the earth is millions of years old.------------------

Thanks guys for responding, I'm not really trying to refute anything or prove anything here, I'm just curious, that's why I'm questioning some of the things said.I know that catastrophies leave physical evidence, however isn't it possible that future catastrophies could, "damage" evidence of the first event.Something like a crime scene, investigators take too long to get there and prints are smeared or other evidence is damaged.Leaving misleading and inconclusive bits of evidence.------------------
