Fossil Record as the Strongest or most compelling evidence of Macroevolution

The Fossil Record is simply that, a collection of fossils layered in different strata. By themselves they do not really give evidence of anything except for what life was like at a given moment in time.

I believe NosyNed has already commented on this, but I'll also.As stated in the quote, the fossil record is a record of the nature of the varities of life forms at a given time. It shows that the varieties has changed down through time. This is the FACT of evolution - the nature of life on earth has changed through time.How this change came to be, might be explained in more than one way. Possible ways would include some variety of progressive special creation, or what has come to be known as the theory of evolution.But the fossil record DOES NOT support a one time, young earth creation of all life.Moose

Why can't it?
First there is the ASSUMPTION of millions of years, as can be fully seen in Ned's list. The fact is the rocks indicate sudden catastrophic burial. ......

I should have stated that as "But the fossil record DOES NOT support a one time creation of all life."But anyhow, we need you at the YEC Geologic Golumn - Created with apparent age?" topic.Moose[This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 11-11-2003]
