Fossil record

From PhiloWiki

Why does the fossil record indicate millions of species living millions of years ago?

The fossil record is evidence that life on Earth is billions of years old

Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 140 million years, dying out (most likely due to an asteroid impact) 65 million years ago. The fossil record is evidence of this.

The fossil record was created mainly by the Flood

...What happened to all the land animals that did not go on the Ark? Very simply, they drowned. Many would have been covered with tons of mud as the rampaging water covered the land (Genesis 7:11-12,19). Because of this quick burial, many of the animals would have been preserved as fossils. If this happened, you would expect to find evidence of billions of dead things buried in rock layers (formed from this mud) all over the Earth. This is exactly what you do find.
