Why do people claim fossils are evidence that Creationism is false?

i.e. young earth theoryWhy do people claim fossils are evidence that Creationism is false?
Actually, the fossil record proves that the bible is correct in its account of a global flood. They are evidence of rapid burial. Many fossils cut across two or more strata or layers of sediment, completely disproving the concept of each layer representing millions of years. There are fossils of soft-bodied animals such as jellyfish, which could only have happened through rapid burial.





If evolution happened, the fossil record should show continuous and gradual changes from the bottom to the top layers. Actually, many gaps or discontinuities appear throughout the fossil record. At the most fundamental level, a big gap exists between forms of life whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, and fungi) and those that don’t (prokaryotes such as bacteria and blue-green algae). Fossil links are also missing between large groupings of plants, between single-celled forms of life and invertebrates (animals without backbones), among insects, between invertebrates and vertebrates (animals with backbones), between fish and amphibians, between amphibians and reptiles, between reptiles and mammals, between reptiles and birds, between primates and other mammals, and between apes and other primates. In fact, chains are missing, not links. The fossil record has been studied so thoroughly that it is safe to conclude that these gaps are real; they will never be filled.Why do people claim fossils are evidence that Creationism is false?
Some guy figured out how old the earth must be by going through the bible he deduced it was like 5-6000 yrs old or something like that. Then someone discovered a dinosaur fossil that was much older. So the earth could not possibly be only 6000 yrs old if there were animals around milions of years before that.


Thats where that argument came from. of course one could argue that 6000 years was off but also there were animals around for billions of years before humans. Creationism could be right but it depends on exactly what creationism says
lemme tell you what creationism is, okay so heres how the story goes kk?; im living in the 8746523 BC and i write a book called the holy book, in this book i say..... there was a god, who lives on the moon and his name is Lunos, One day..... lunos said, let there be light, and there was the sun, and he said let there be ... water and there was sea and he rested on the seventh day. lunos was lonely so he made women and decided to call her eve. he made even out of fire, and he broke a rib and made man called adam, out of that broken rib and water. and everytime you pray to him he blessed you with good luck charms. and if you disobey just ONE of his commands, he turns you into a mindless zombey.








idk if this sounds like it has ANY F***ing foundatoin or not but this is the way creationism goes








mentions NOTHING about any dinasaurs or anyting
Young earth theory is blasphemous. Fossils are not formed over thousands of years but millions. Think about it China has been keeping written records since at least 1500 BCE that's 3000 years ago. Egypt has written records from as far back as 3500 BCE that's 5500 years ago. You're telling me that fossils began forming around that time?
Well those people would include the churches and all the good christians!!





The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept evolution and the big bang!!





Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!!





Nice that christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at your expense!!
Because the fossils and the sedimentary layers from which they come can be reliably dated to well before 6000 years before present. There's a tree in scandinavia that's 16000 years old and that's still living.
Because they don't understand or realize there are some that hold to the concept of ';Old Earth Creationism';. Young earth creationism is not very believable.
Dude, the existence of BEER is proof that Young Earth Creationism is wrong. Beer was invented a few thousand years before YEC proponents claim the earth was created.
Because they are. Fossils have been here for millions of years. Thus, the earth can not possibly be only 6,000 years old.
Because these fossils date back to hundreds of million of years
