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.
The Formation of Fossils

Here is a quick overview of the process of the formation of fossils:
http://scienceviews.com/dinosaurs/fossilformation.html
Actually, fossils don't always take a long time to form. Most fossils, by themselves, are not a problem for a young earth. The problems come from geological context, including the following:
Independent dating of sediments via any number of techniques.
Multiple layers of fossils. Sometimes each layer preserves an entire ecosystem.
In-place marine fossils on mountains, showing that the mountain must have risen since the fossil was deposited.
Reworked fossils, showing that a mountain must have risen and eroded since the fossil was deposited.
Many fossils occur in amber, and the formation of amber cannot happen rapidly. First, plant resin polymerizes to produce copal, which takes thousands of years. Then the volatile oils must evaporate, which can take millions of years more.
