Most scientists view fossils as a record of life’s history. They observe certain types of fossils in specific layers and assume when that creature disappears from the fossil record, that means it went extinct. Because of this, they assume many mass extinctions throughout evolutionary history.

But creationists like me look at the same fossils and we see evidence of ecosystems that were buried as the floodwaters rose. That’s why bottom-dwelling sea creatures are found in the lowest layers, but creatures that live far inland are found at the top.

The fossil record is not a record of mass extinction but rising waves of burial!
