Be honest, you just make this stuff up as you go. Or do you have some credible source for this claim?

Hehe. You ought to know by know that I think and post by the seat of my pants. I've asked for a textbook source that documents exactly where the fossils have been found, along with their condition and exact position relative to the physical, geoloic column. So far no one has been forthcoming.

I can find a host of books showing fossils crammed into the author's preconceived notion of where they ought to be "in time." Have yet to see one that allows the reader to look at the evidence for himself and think about it for himself.

Frankly it is a shame that the lion's share of geologic study has taken place under the aegis of Darwinist thought. It is also a shame that the same people who publish their findings do not list from the get go what assmptions they've made in interpreting the evidence.

Certainly, what you say seems to come from a point in the center of that region.

You won't find that in textbooks. You'll find it in primary sources; journal articles.

Why? Because some twit on FR doesn't understand the interrelationships between human knowledge? Let's see, I'm working on a paper on the infrared spectroscopy of molecules. Let's start by assuming that my readers don't believe in atoms or molecules, so we'll review the entire body of evidence for both. That'll take care of the first 1000 pages.

You don't say...

So NOW you're going to follow links? How convenient for you.
Every Fossil Ever Found

It is also a shame that the same people who publish their findings do not list from the get go what assmptions they've made in interpreting the evidence.

It's also a shame you can't do basic research before you post.
A better link than the one above: Paleontology Journals
