That means that to be fossilized with soft parts included, a fish must be buried very rapidly. The same is true of the many leaves and parts of plants we find in the fossil record. These, too, require rapid burial for delicate parts to be preserved. In the Joggins Forest, Nova Scotia, we find another problem. Fossilized trees cut across several layers of strata.
All evidence points to the contrary.
Several trees have been found which cross many layers of strata, and some of these trees are upside down with the roots of the tree on top and the limbs on the bottom. Certainly they did not grow this way but were uprooted and buried. In the fossil trees we find strong evidence of water burial since several varieties of ancient marine creatures have been identified in the fossil wood. All of these considerations require rapid burial in a great global cataclysm. That is exactly what we find described in the Bible, forty days of rapid flooding conditions all over the earth.
