1. There are thousands of erosional surfaces in the geologic column. Some of these are called paleosols which are just ancient soil horizons. Sometimes these are stacked upon eachother indicating repeated series of soil formation. Other erosional surfaces are called erosional unconformities.
Most of these, especially the paleosols, DO SHOW evidence of living things such as plants, burrows, etc.
Whoever made the claim that these things do not exist did so completely blind of the evidence.
2. Polystrate fossils do cut through multiple layers (somtimes) but these are layers that do not represent millions of years. Some layers are deposited much faster than others. In the case of polystrate trees, often a mudslide can bury a tree in an instant. You can find pictures on the net of polystrate telephone polls. Obviously these didn't take millions of years to form.
3. Solid rock is known to deform plasticly under pressure. We can do this in the lab. There is no requirement that rock must be soft in order to deform. In fact, if rock is soft when it deforms it does not react in the way we see it in the geologic column. Other evidence that rock was hard when it deformed are clear evidence of fossil and clastic strain. That is where a fossil or other element in the rock is stretched in the direction of the deformation of the rock. If the rock had been soft when this happened, the fossils would not have streched with the rock. In order for a fossil to deform WITH the rock it must be PART OF the rock and that means the rock was hard.
In short, people who bring up these "evidences" really are only speaking in a fantasy world. Even a remedial knowledge of the actual evidence from geology, something you would get within a few weeks of freshman geology courses, shows that these are either lies or come from people who are VERY SERIOUSLY ignorant of reality.

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
