Why are no dinosaur bones found above wooly mammoth bones?
Why are pterodons buried so deep?
I suppose these are questions for "paleontologists" though.
buried by all the junk that allowed them to be fossels instead of dust?

*sigh*
Not literally
If SciencecategoryA is composed of 100 scientists and 99 of these scientists hold Theory X, then in common English one can say that SciencecategoryA says X.
say Theory X is correct.

Lets see now, dinos were big, mammoths were big, but smaller than dinos, the flood comes and in a panic the small animals jump on the large animals' backs. That's why dinos are below mammoths, oh that's brilliant.
Still doesnt explain the flyers, but hey, what does?

If all you could accomplish with this is to reduce my 'authority' (if only by inuendo) then you've only avoided the merits of the argument (and revealed that that you are willing to try). And that is more demeaning to you than to me.
Come again??? What sort of geologist are you?
Have you been doing one of those mail-order doctoral degrees? Maybe in Flood Geology from Jesus Christ Correspondence University?
If you are a geologist, do you try to publish your amazing findings in top scientific journals? It seems to me that if you are sitting on enough evidence to support your th ...[text shortened]... stigious articles out of it.
Last question: What's the top prize in the field of geology?
As far as what sort of geologist I am; I have a BS in geology from the U of Wisconsin. I worked in the field one summer, 23 years ago, and then married and moved on. (Long, sad personal story.)
None of this changes the fact that the Grand Canyon was much more likely formed from the massive draining of a newly uplifted continent than the pitiful theory that it was eroded into existence by the Colorado river.
Putting all religion and faith issues aside, a common sense look at the evidence should be enough to persuade anyone who also puts irreligion and antifaith issues aside.
Evidence like cross strata fossils (vertical tree trunks that pass through several sedimentary layers), massive coal deposits that bely uniformitarianistic theories of age-long deposition rates, evidence of mammoth mammoth populations in the arctic, giant fossil graveyards that indicate tremendous flooding which not only drowned the animals, but sorted, deposited and buried them in a hurry, etc. etc....is very overwhelming.
It's been said that Fundies are simple minded, unthinking followers of the church's non scientific leaders. I've encountered more church-goers, however, who, just like the unchurched, are simple minded, unthinking followers of the nation's, pseudo scientific, evolution minded educational propagandists who fill every nature show on the air with natural origin assumptions and totally unscientific assertions. These are of course, merely, but firmly, based on the unprovable premise, chosen to lead to the desired conclusion.
Listen closely next time you watch one of these shows. Set your credibility alarm to high sensitivity so that it goes off every time you hear an untested (untestable!) assertion. You'll find out that you are being asked to live by faith to a larger degree than I am!

Would you care to elaborate on any of those claims? Names of places where these things are found, and perhaps with a peer reviewed article or two to back it up with?
Let me know if you are not the hole shooter I'm supposing you to be and I'll provide some interesting resources for you.
