Explain why prehistoric animals always appear before modern animals in the strata

Because once they are found with modern animals they stop being prehistoric. Think, coelacanth.

Or, better... find *one* single example of say, dinosaur fossils. . .

Can you give me an example of a walrus remain found in the same strata as that of a camel?

Disprove radiometric dating for once and for all and replicate labatory conditions where it will give completely wrong results.

fChristian posted an interesting article by Richard Milton in post 44 describing problems relating to radiometric dating of fossils specifically the potassium-argon method. I'm interested in your opinion.

False. Because a species persisted does not mean that it developed out of evolutionary sequence--sharks are living fossils, too--and alligators, I believe, and of course, insects/worms/et cetera.

Now, if you had a modern man or a modern species that dated back to an ancient strata, you'd have effectively disproven evolution. You should be looking for examples of modern species residing in ancient fossils with and dating far back before they should have evolved.

Silly argument, as nearly everything would have an anatomical structure that is older than the newest species. The coelacanth is simply a surprise. Now, if you had a coelacanth fossil in the precambarian strata, you'd get the nobel prize.

I'll bite, although I can imagine some conditions where that could arise. Link please.

Will look at it tonight. Hope you're having a nice weekend. :)
