Instead of fossiles in the same layers lets say fossiles from the same time period, as measured with modern carbon dating techniques.*
Let's not.
Let's say same layers when they are same layers.
Nobody has dated every single instance of every single layer anyway.
Of course, the assumption of the ToE is that it is as good as done.
In reality, it hasn't been done.
*All organisms that have ever existed on Earth have been precursurs to modern animals.*
Well, duhhhhhhhhh!
Just learn about the birds and the bees for the first time?
*But you couldn't go back 65 million years and expect to see horses and eagles. They simply did not exist at that time, and so far fossile evidence backs this up.*
No it doesn't.
The fossil evidence only proves that you haven't found any.
There is no way that absence of evidence of an animal is proof of absence of the animal.
If it is in your world, you may as well trade your brain in for some used bubble gum.
*So you're saying evolution isn't science? I'm sure I could find many people that would disagree with you on that, including fellow theists.*
I admit that it is easy to find confused theists.
Look at Taken, she'd be one of the ones you'd want to have on your side.
And I am saying that evolution isn't science.
What science is, is collecting the rocks, and fossils and counting layers, and what not.
What science is not, is jumping to some insane conclusion of fallacious logic.
Evolution, after all, is based on two assumptions...
1. Absence of a fossil proves absence of the animal
2. Absence of fossils proves the presence of undiscovered fossils.
*Ah, did you see that tony? Better think about it for a while, it applies to you quite well.*
Only if I'm wrong.
*nonsense arguements in an attempt to backup their side.*
For proof, merely view the pro-evolution arguments.
*This day would had to have been a couple billion years long to account for the evolution of life from a single celled organism to what we see today.*
Whew!
Luckily, it doesn't have to account for evolution, so it is one day long.

Yeah, you are.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

*The division of the day by hours is first mentioned in *
The division of time by days is first mentioned in Ge. 1:5, and the day was defined by EVENING and MORNING.
*If God did not SAY He created the earth in 6 /24 hour days then why argue it?*
OTOH, since he did say that, why are you arguing against God, as usual, I might add.
So far, there has not been one single verse quoted on this forum that you have agreed with, Taken.
What is your problem, aside from the demonic, of course?
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
(Genesis 1:23, ASV).
And there was evening, and there was morning--a fifth day.
(Genesis 1:23, DBY).
And the evening and morning were the fifth day.
(Genesis 1:23, DOUAY).
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
(Genesis 1:23, JPS).
Fu sera, poi fu mattina: quinto giorno.
(Genesi 1:23, Nuova Riveduta).
Ja tuli ehtoo, ja tuli aamu, viides päivä.
(1 Mooses 1:23, Pyhä Raamattu).
Y fué la tarde y la mañana el día quinto.
(Génesis 1:23, Reina Valera).
So it was evening--and it was morning, a fifth day.
(Genesis 1:23, Rotherham).
Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día quinto.
(Génesis 1:23, Sagrada Escritura).
and there is an evening, and there is a morning--day fifth.
(Genesis 1:23, YLT).
Taken, I realize that for you the English is as incomprehensible as the other languages, but everyone seems to agree on "DAY."
What is your problem?
