FOSSILS?

If rock layers need millions of years to form, how do we still find many well-preserved fossils in those rocks?

 

Most dead animals decay quickly or are eaten by scavengers fairly quickly after death.  But in the uniformitarian view the dead animal must lay there long enough undisturbed by scavengers and without decaying for sediment to build up around it to fossilize it.

 

Even allowing for hypothetical conditions in which animals decayed less quickly, the amount oftime for slow

and gradual fossilization means that we should find very few or no well-preserved fossils.

 Local floods could account for individual fossil beds, but not the BIG picture of all the sedimentary layers and well-preserved fossils around the world.

This gives us the impression of a global event, such as the world wide flood happening in a matter of days or weeks.

Local floods would not leave fossils covering our  whole planet, nor on mountain tops.
