This is a terrible blow to the evolutionists, who cannot explain it. In the lowest strata, the Cambrian, there are over a thousand different species, and below that there are next to none. Yet such a fact would be impossible if evolutionary theory about strata were true. The evolutionary strata theory. Plants and animals die, fall to the ground, and turn into fossils.
Trees fall flat and turn to fossils.
Then new strata are laid down on top of the old. That is the theory. The truth is that fossils do not form when plants and animals die. Rapid burial and immense compaction pressures from above are necessary. More on polystrate trees.
