prophecyexclaimed,
Also, I assume logically thinking here that the humans being smart would swim to the top of the flood waters trying to stay alive, the animals who can't swim like dinosaurs (just the weight of some land dinosaurs makes that problem), or smaller animals that can't do much of anything would be at the bottom. This is just what I think would have happened if you think the Flood occured then this theory is logical.
So why do we find sessile molluscs in similar aged sediments as humans? Brachiopods? They both have shells & should plummet straight to the bottom. They can't up sticks & run. Why do we find small animals in the same aged deposits as Hominids? Bacteria should be the last organisms to drop out of suspension, yet are found first! The "small" animals you mention are found from the Permian to THE PRESENT!
If you think Dinosauria & small animals are at the bottom of the geologic column, think again. The earliest life appeared in sediments ~3.5 billion years ago, the earliest Dinosaurs appeared in the late Triassic, about 220 million years ago. In fact, multicellular life didn't become diverse until the Cambrian, 543 million years ago. That is, 5/6ths of the geologic column saw little other than single celled, & simple multicellular organisms, whilst true complex animal body plans appeared relatively recently in the last 6th, aren't most of them supposed to be at the bottom?. According to you the Precambrian should be teeming with complex life, yet it isn't.
You are falsified on two counts. Organisms that should be at the bottom aren't, organisms that shouldn't be at the top, are.
I'd like to go into more detail with more examples, but am a little stretched for time. Trust me, the situation gets even more ridiculous when we start looking at the plant fossils. They can't run anywhere, yet display the same pattern of appearance, extinction, & radiation as animals. Fully consistent with an old earth & evolution, in direct contradiction of a biblical flood.
[added by edit] If you click on my avatar, you'll get a full ,sized image of another "small" animal,
Acanthostega gunnari, one that lived in the late Devonian, ~350 mya, it could swim, obviously, represents a transition between fish & tetrapods, yet according to you should be contemporaneous with Hominid fossils found much higher in the geologic column. Why isn't it?
