So if you believe there is a fossil record, how old is it? Since there was no world wide flood, your whole thought is just wrong. There is no evidence there was a world wide flood and no coherent explanation that would explain chronologically assorted fossils showing the development of various structures in sequence. The reason the strata are not perfectly aligned is because of geologic action. So, how old is the flood (if there were one)?

There is no evidence there was a world wide flood . . .

I take it there are certain parts of recorded human history you'd like to chuck since it does not fit in with your world view, e.g. the great flood. Since neither you nor I were present when the fossil record went down, I would think it rather preposterous to suggest we know the order in which it happened. Since we have hardly scratched the surface of the earth to date I also think it to be preposterous to assume we have a handle on all that's under there. But that's just me.

You can join your friends and place your bets on only a fraction of scientific knowledge, all the while hoping that your constructions in view of the static record are on target. I'm not that kind of believer when it comes to science. I like to see it happen first. I like facts and figures as opposed to wishful thinking.

Fact: There is a fossil record
Wishful thinking: It got there through the same processes we observe today.
