fossil evidence

[Percivale]

If YEC (flood geology) is true, the distribution of fossils should be about equal to that of living plants and animals; a worldwide flood would bury everything, so you should find just as many land animal fossils as aquatic ones.
If not, there should be more fossils of creatures that inhabit coastal areas, seas, and rivers, and fewer land animal fossils.

Ooh. Good point. A global flood shouldn't lead to a disparity by habitat. It should also sort the organisms that get fossilized by density, not by development.

Maybe its a hard one to refute. Just what is the ratio of, say, alligator fossils to deer fossils? I know there's a ton of marine fossils like crinoids and brachiopods, I see them all over here in southern Indiana.
