The Geologic Column and Index Fossils

Most of us are familiar with the geologic column from high school textbooks. In short, the geologic column divides the supposed history of Earth into five eras, each of which has its appointed age. (The Cenozoic Era runs from 25 thousand to 70 million years ago, the Mesozoic Era from 70 million to 200 miUion years ago, the Fhleozoic Era from 200 to 600 rruUion years ago, the Proterozoic Era from 600 million to 1 biUion years ago, and the Archeozoic Era from 1 biUion to 1.8 biUion years ago.) 

A simplified geologic column according to evolutionary theory. 

This all sounds good in theory, but in actuality the only place that the geologic column is ever found is in textbooks. It is not a reality in the field. In other words, you can t take a drill, bore down into the earth, and from the core samples retrieved see the geologic column of fossils and rocks stacked up one upon another. Evolutionist scientists admit this, but the fact that students are taught the geologic column shows the bias that secular, humanist education takes. Students are given the impression that these rock layers can be found neatly placed one on top of the other, with these convenient index fossils present to indicate the age of the rock. This is patently false. 

Thin have become even more suspect since one of the creatures used as index fossils—graptoUtes, said to have lived 410 million years ago— have been found aUve today in the South Fhdfic And there is also the mysterious fossil of the trilobite, said to have lived 500-600 rruUion years ago, found inside a fossilized sandal print. How could a person wearing sandals. 

You can see the trilobite circled near the front of the sandal print.
