Well I wish somebody would acknowledge the strangeness. It's hard to put into words any better than I have done already, but some honest contemplation of the facts should make it apparent. There is just no way to rationally explain how discreet time periods over the history of the earth got marked by clearcut sediment depositions that start at the beginning of the period and end at the end of it.
What strangeness?
It would be strange for us to find a dinosaur dying in one of today's waterholes.
Is it strange to find the sediment being deposited at the current ocean floor being ocean sediment?
Is it strange to find sand dunes being created over what once was verdant forest?
Is it strange to find mountains being eroded down or land flooded and then built up and river channels getting deeper?
Things that get buried today are those things that are alive today.
Geological layers are made of those things that exist today.
Weathering happens.
Gravity works.
High spots get worn down and the debris fills the low spots.
Low spots sometimes get forced up, even to becoming mountains.
And that is the stake through the heart of the young earth zombie.
We do find evidence of the same geological structures, so similar that they must have once been one, now separated by oceans.
We do find fossils of stuff that once lived in layers where there are NO fossils of stuff that is now living.
We do find structures that show cyclical layering, sometimes millions of cycles.
And there has never been any model, method, process or procedure that can explain what is seen that does not also require long, long, long periods of time.
