Geological Layers do not represent fewer years than we conclude

This is completely blown apart (pardon the pun) by the K-T boundary containing the element iridium from the asteroid impact.
The boundary can be found in numerous places around the planet where the sedimentary layers are exposed.
Fossils such as dinosaurs and ammonites are never found in the upper layers beyond the boundary.

So, according to Post 72, if I was given a test, and it asked:

How many years passed between trilobites and sea shells?

I'd better answer "25 million years," or it's going to be counted wrong.

Is that correct?

For the example given the difference is in the range 10 - 50 million years.
Brachiopods are hardy critters, they barely survived the Permian-Triassic extinction which wiped out the trilobites, and the following Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event which took out the dinosaurs and exist to this day.

Where do you 'see' these things? It's not about how anyone views 'geology'. It's about actually looking at the rocks. Trilobites, dinosaurs and man are not found side-by-side as you seem to suggest.
