  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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.
