The geologic column in its final version consists of eleven basic layers. According to the evolutionary theory these layers were laid down over a period of millions of years.
Billions of years.
However, several problems arise when the geologic column is looked at through the theory of evolution. First, if the geologic column were to be compacted together, layer upon layer, its height would exceed 100 miles. This is a problem because one must consider the earth's crust is no greater than 30 miles thick and sedimenlary [sic] rocks are never found exceeding 15 miles in depth.
Why would the column have to be 100 miles thick? Because you said so? Have you taken into account compression over time (for example, sandstone is compressed to make it sandstone). Not all rock is sedimentary. Some is igneous and some metamorphic.
The Grand Canyon also presents a problem to the evolutionary geologic column because several sedimentary layers, such as the Cenozoic and Mesozoic strata, are absent. Such absences directly correspond with the many observations that the theorized transitional species between virtually every major group of animals is also missing.
You might check out The Geology of the Grand Canyon before proceeding along this line of thought.
One of the most stunning evidences against the supposed vast ages of the earth and the geologic column is the presence of human footprints in layers dated older than the Quaternary Period.
The only reporting of human footprints being found are the Paluxy River Man Tracks. Unfortunately for creationists these have been shown to be nothing more than eroded dinosaur tracks. If you have a list of others, please post it here. I'd like to track them down and read about them for myself.
In addition to footprints, human fossils have also been found in areas of the geologic column which represent time periods supposedly millions of years prior to modern man.
Really. Show us.
Good, Billions. Do the Math. Why Complicate things, Take a compression rate of 50%, 60% across the board......
You have given a theory not fact. Most Evolution scientist do not even use sedimentary evidence or fossil evidence, it has be proven unreliable. So you found a guy who want to hold on to the old theories. Good for you, I suggest you get with the current trends in you camp. Let us just keep with the opening line of your "proof" "The truth is that no one knows for sure though there are some pretty good guesses."
