If you dived to an old ship and recovered a cannon that had a date of 1760 on it would you think that the ship had sunk before or after 1760?

If you dived to an old ship and recovered a cannon that had a date of 1760 on it would you think that the ship had sunk before or after 1760?You're dating the tar pits from what is found in them, and dating what is found in them by the tar pits.
This argument works for the entire geologic column. The fossil record conforms beautifully to the principle of faunal succession no matter where you're looking or what taxa you deal with. The fossil record is very very heavily sorted - science explains this by saying that it's sorted with respect to time, YECs have absolutely no explanation.
The research I'm doing for my dissertation is completely dependent on the reality of faunal succession. If all vertebrate animals who have ever lived all coexisted 6,000 years ago then the patterns I look at every day would not exist. You wouldn't see an orderly change from one fauna to another over time, it would be a giant jumbled mess.
I think this post is about the animals in the Tar Pits not geologic layers, there are no geologic layers in the Tar Pits only Tar, the animals went onto the Tar and slowly sank, predators saw them struggling and went onto the Tar to eat them they then slowly sank themselves, very few things that went onto the Tar survived.Where did the geologic layers come from that buried those critters?
I am talking about layers, and they came from every sort of depositional environment imaginable - river systems, lakes, near-shore and far-shore marine, etc. Why do you ask?Where did the geologic layers come from that buried those critters?

"Pleistocene" is just a word to describe a unit of time inhabited by a subset of life that existed in a figment of scientists' imagination.Then how do you explain the fact that only Pleistocene fossils are found there?
No.Yes you are.
You left out a very important key qualifier, didn't you?You believe that the earth was created only 6,000 years ago, therefore, a "young" earth.

In truth, man and "Pleistocenes" lived together.
Adam & Eve probably had some as pets.
How "only" these found their way into asphalt lakes is anybody's guess.
I would assume the animals that were not found therein, were not found therein because they would have never made it to them in the first place.
They would have been eaten before they got there.
You believe god created a universe with 99.99996% false history?I believe a 4.57 billion year old earth was created only 6000 years ago.

No.

And may I point out that you are a Presbyterian that believes the books of Moses are a fairy tale?

If they are not found there, how do you know they inhabited the same ranges and occupied the same ecological niches?Except animals from before and after that period that inhabited the same ranges and occupied the same ecological niches are not found there...
No -- that is called Last Thursdayism.You believe god created a universe with 99.99996% false history?
Okay, thanks for the correction.A unit of time, yes. To describe a subset of life that existed during that time, NO. The Pleistocene is a period of time from 2.588 Ma to 11.7 ka. in which there were multiple glaciations.
No -- that is called Last Thursdayism.
Again, thanks for the correction.I have never called them fairy tales nor will I ever.
Thanks for the clarification.I just do not believe them to be literal nor fully factual.
45Can you provide archeological evidence of any Hebrews being slaves in Egypt during the reign of Ramses?
That's not even worth addressing.Not to mention your interpretation of the creation story has God being a deceiver creating an earth and all its contents and history 6,000 years ago made to look 4.5 billion years old.
Then you agree I'm not a YEC?That is exactly what your embedded age nonsense requires. You claim that rocks date to millions of years because they have embedded age from the creation event, and then you forget that those rocks have fossils in them meaning that those rocks had to be created with fossils already in them.
