Stratigraphy FAIL

Posted at CARM on November 18t 2008. Creationist: RByers

Question:
There's countless index fossils, more so when you grab a microscope. So Creationists, it's your turn to show us your vacuum of knowledge concerning why index fossils even exist. According to your global flood, all organisms have been around since God created them, and were living and dying at the same time as everything else. And the flood waters tore up the land jumbling everything up.

Seeing as the 3 index fossils I listed were all aquatic, shouldn't they be found together? Why aren't they?

Why do Index Fossils even exist?

RByers' answer:
The clue is not the fossils but the rock formations they are in.
What is the origin of the rock strata and why different from the other strata when its from the same event.
The answer must be that the lower strata was from one week in the beginning of the flood and the other strata from the mext week or day. so the first strata swepted up what was in its path. A clean sweep.

The next strata did not sweep up the lower level as it was already rock but brought from up river, as it were, a different contents of other sweepings and laid it on top and pressurized it into rock.

Therefore these index fossils are just creatures from different areas and different sortings separate from the sortings it traveled over.

Deep areas sediment/life laid first and shallow areas came later with different currents.
The creationist can answer life fossil sorting issues with the origin of the sediment material that became the rock strata.

Hows that? Why do creationists have to give the better answers for geology? what are geologists getting paid for?

Gee...I don't know. Maybe they get paid to have logical, scientific answers to geological questions. Could just be me though.
