But then I thought that fossils appeared in lower strata because they belong to an earlier time in history, and not because they "sank to the bottom" of the water that covered the earth during the flood. But then what do I know?
My favourite, which was peripherally mentioned by rodcarty, is that the smarter and swifter fossils had both the ability and the intelligence to run uphill from the encroaching water.
Which, of course explains perfectly why conifer trees are invariably found lower in the strata than deciduous trees: as we all know they can't run as fast.
