Are there out-of-sequence fossils that are problematic for evolution?

In his debate with Ken Ham, (the ‘science guy’) Bill Nye dogmatically claimed, and asked Ham, to cite any out of order fossils in the geologic record, because if there were any, it would be problematic for the evolutionary model. Due to the seeming confidence of Nye’s assertion (and that it was not answered during the debate), many have contacted us for an answer on this single question. In addition, while out on ministry our speakers have mentioned how this question has often come up. At a recent event, Gary Bates encountered a Christian university student who said this question was being used as a club by lecturers and professors to ‘beat him with’. It appears that this seeming ‘knockout punch’ argument by Nye is being used as a ‘great’ falsification of the creation model.
It was once scientific fact that the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. Deniers were persecuted.
Yep, for example
As Global Warming was rebranded as "Climate Change", Creationism was also rebranded as "Intelligent Design"
Your forgetting creation - the other explanation. I think there are valid points regarding the hypothesis. And that is what it is.
Problem with creation is that it is outside the realm of science as much as fm is outside the realm of an am radio. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real, though.
i.e. “evolution” is the only thing mankind could come up with to counter the non-scientific explanation. And to be clear - science is just a word to explain an activity. It is not man’s highest pursuit, though it is loads of fun figuring out how God’s creation works.
