JM: You understand of course what Glen Morton is trying to say, don't you? Glen is an ex-young earth creationist. He is discussing the creationist claim that it requires a flood to get fossils. This is wrong as any geologist could have told you. You don't even have to wait 10 years to get fossils, but you do need specific conditions for preservation. You have then made the illogical leap to conclude that all fossils are less than 10000 years old. You've not shown that by any stretch.
