"Such a claim and such a theory goes against every geological fact that humankind has ever discovered. If the fossil record had been made due to The Flood, then why aren't the fossils of dinosaurs side by side with (i.e. in the same geological layers as) the fossils of people and other more modern animals? In fact, why is it that when scientests investigate the sedimentary layers which are the farthest down (i.e. the earliest layers of sedimentary rock), which contain fossils and therefore evidence of life during the periods those layers were formed, they find only extremely primitive, single cell life forms? Why, indeed then, do the fossils of dinosaurs and their contemporary animals and plants companions exist only in sedimentary layers that fall between those earliest, most simple life forms and those sedimentary layers in which humankind first walked the earth?
Now, from Creationists besides these two gentlemen on TV, I've heard the theory that these differing layers, with (only) single celled animals at the bottom, dinosaurs farther up, and people, goats, kangaroos and other more modern animals at the top, was simply due to the various dead animals floating to the bottom of the world wide ocean (created by the flood) at varying rates. However, as interesting of a theory as this is, it (excuse the pun) does not hold water. Anyone who has ever poured dirt and rocks into a bucket knows that the heaviest and largest objects sink into water fastest, with smaller objects falling at a slower rate, and with particulates being actually suspended in the water for a long time. This being the case, if The Flood was responsible for the distribution of the fossil records, we would expect that the largest dinosaurs along with elephants and wooly mammoths would be on the layers farthest down, smaller dinosaurs along with sheep, lions and people farther up, squirrels and rabbits farther up still, roaches, spiders and worms farther up still, and single celled organisms at the very top. But that is simply not the case."
