Ten Misconceptions about the Geologic Column
by Steven A. Austin, Ph.D.

http://www.icr.org/article/ten-misconceptions-about-geologic-column/

The ten strata systems that geologists use (Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary) compose the “standard geologic column” and are claimed by many to contain the major proof of evolutionary theory. Several erroneous notions have been attached to the geologic column. The following are the ten most common misconceptions.

Misconception No. 1.

The geologic column was constructed by geologists who, because of the weight of the evidence that they had found, were convinced of the truth of uniformitarian theory and organic evolution.

I don't know why, but you're mixing apples & oranges here.
The geological column was figured out by geologists for reasons which may, or may not, have anything to do with evolution.

In fact, regardless of evolution theory, the geological column is based on observations confirmed globally relating to ages and structures of various strata.

Indeed, whenever I say "there are literal mountains of evidence" it's those geological strata I'm referring to.
