This is an example really and quite simply how the two sides interpret the exact same evidence but the interpretation is completely opposite. Both you and Faith agree with the evidence...that there is a sizable marine fossil record where it should not be...up high in the mountains. The difference is clearly how the two sides believe the fossils got there.
The difference is that creationists do NOT deal with all the evidence. The Flood simply is not a viable explanation of the geological record. The order of the fossils - the subject of this thread - is one of the reasons why. And you will note that Faith has not dealt with it.
We know that mountains grow by slow pressure deforming the rocks, pushing them upward. We know that the rock was already rock by that time. Conventional geology has absolutely no problem with this. Flood "geologists" have to explain how it could all happen is so short a time - without anyone noticing it or anything equivalent in modern times !
