My problem is the fact that I believe it. To me, it makes sense. Well, not really. But I do have some problems with some of your ideas, and I would like you to consider them, if you will. First is your notion of fossils.
Fossils are rocks.
Plain and simple. Not all fossils are rocks. A fossil is any sort of remains of a past organism. Footprints and burrows count as fossils, and these are termed trace fossils. Perhaps the best known circumstances for a whole organism to be preserved is when it has the misfortune to become trapped in tree resin, which hardens to form amber.
