[QUOTE="Astrophile, post: 71752972, member: 338099"] The seashells aren't resting on top of the mountains; they are in the rocks that make up the mountains. The seashells on the surface of the rock are those that have been exposed by erosion; they weren't deposited on the mountain as it is now. The layers containing the fossilized trees probably represent at most a few hundred or a few thousand years. They were deposited in a short enough time for the tree trunks not to have rotted away. No geologists, atheists or religious, think that these rock layers represent millions of years. All human settlements developed near to a source of water, usually a river or lake, and therefore on relatively low ground. Rivers and lakes are subject to floods, due for example to heavy rain or to snowmelt in the mountains where they have their source, and low-lying ground is also subject to flooding. Coastal areas are also subject to flooding by storm surges or tsunamis. For this reason, all cultures are likely to develop a flood legend. These 'fossil graveyards' are of different ages, and they preserve animals belonging to extinct species. They may be the remains of animals that were drowned in local floods, or they may be the result of long-term accumulations in locations that were particularly favourable for the preservation of fossils. Can you give links from archaeological sources for these submarine cities? Even if these are real cities, rather than natural rock formations, they are not necessarily all the same age. [/QUOTE]
