Never heard of Petrified Trees? The rings are a pain to try and count most of the time, and you would really need a point of reference to do it.

That being said, I'm sure someone has tried to align things and make the count. Also, we have fossils from before the time that tree's inhabited the planet. But I don't think you 'Young Earth' types believe that dinosaurs really existed much less early single cell and simple multi-cell organisms do you?

"Never heard of Petrified Trees?"

Of course I have. They are more evidence for the flood.

It's interesting that the oldest trees in the petrified forest are around 1000 years. But there are redwoods growing in California that are 3500 years old. Why aren't there older trees in the fossils?

Were there two catastrophic events, one 3500-4000 years ago and another 1000-1500 years before that? Or is it possible that the 1000 year old trees preserved as fossils are those that grew in the time between creation and the flood and the redwoods alive today grew after the flood?
