Law of Superposition: “Sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top.”
Of course, this is a major contribution to evolution and how it became a theory in the first place. All true scientists, which are 99.99% of them, agree that there are always simple life forms (fossils) in the oldest “habitable” layers. As you go up to newer and younger layers, you find fossils of arthropods, fish, lizards, and amphibians. Further up, and you see dinosaurs. You never find lions with dinosaurs or whales with early jellyfish. This has become so important and useful, that paleontologists could go to some rock layers and find fossils of a certain animal right where they predicted. Now, as you pass this iridium layer, also called the K-T boundary, you see no more dinosaurs. Mammals, and huge ones, start to appear. As we should know, iridium only comes in huge amounts from volcanic activity or asteroids/comets. This is how scientists concluded that dinosaurs became extinct due to volcanic activity and/or an asteroid impact. Also you don’t even need to date the rock layers. The oldest ones are on the bottom, and thats a law.
Basically, fossils, and rock layers themselves suggest that animal species changed over time because they were affected by natural selection, or survival of the fittest. Sedimentary rock layers show no evidence for some of your claims (even contradicting some claims), including that dinosaurs and humans co-existed, or as genesis says, birds being created before land-dwelling animals.
How do you [creationist] deny such evidence for evolution that comes from a law? Or why do you deny it? Please explain, I’m really curious as to why you refuse to accept such scientific laws.
Sacred,O.K… There is a gap in the Grand Canyon. This could only “disprove” the LAW of Superposition if the phenomena occured everywhere else, but it in fact doesn’t. So what’s your point. There’s a gap, O.K. We still know that the oldest layers are on the bottom, and the youngest ones are on the top.
So far, I’m only getting uneducated answers, and ignorance. I’m still waiting for someone that can answer my question truthfully.
Sacred, why don’t you ask the 99.99 percent of scientists (you know, the ones that gave all this technology and advancement due to the scientific method). I’m pretty sure they know what a K2 is, cuz I don’t. Still, you aren’t answering my question as to why you deny the unbreakable LAW of superposition.
O.K. I get it, there are gaps in the sedimentary rock layers. This disproves the LAW of superposition, how…? Not understanding it is not an excuse for not accepting the facts. These gaps have nothing to do with my question, or the LAW of superposition in any way. Open up a science text book and see what I’m talking about.
Wow, I’m wondering why I only got two attempts to answer my question. What could be the problem…?
