I'd appreciate it if instead of exclusively using the era titles like "Permian" and Ordovician" and the like, or the supposed age of the strata, the location or depth of a particular layer in the geological column might be indicated to help me visualize the situation better.
No criticism here. Just a comment. You may want to stick to the geologic names and simply abstract them to "labels that correlate to radiometric age". Depth is a poor indicator of "age" as many areas are exposed at radically different depths of the column. Some places may be exposed to the Triassic, other exposed to the Pre-Cambrian.
Besides, if the flood created the current topography then it would ALSO mean a depth to age comparison would be sketchy even in a flood model.
You could also stick to relative positioning. X fossil is always found above/below Y fossil.

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
