I mean, how NICE of Father Time to do such a neat job of dividing the eras and periods with such particular sedimentary deposits and such precise fossil contents that stay put in their designated desposit.
Here's a fun experiment you kids can do at home.
Step 1: Put a stone on the ground.
Step 2: Wait ten minutes.
Step 3: Place another kind of stone on top of the first one.
Step 4: Wait another ten minutes.
Step 5: Place yet another kind of stone on top of the other two.
Step 6: Leave for a full day. Come back. Check to see if the different layers of rock have moved around, or stayed put.

And ask our esteemed panel, Why are we alive? And here's how they replied:
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died."
