“Animal tracks almost always precede body fossils in the fossil record, as paleontologist Dr Marcus Ross explains (see Reading evolution into the Scriptures and Is Genesis History?):
“This is a pattern we see in several different groups, where their footprints are first, and their body parts are later. For the trilobites, for the amphibians, for the dinosaurs—the first time I find evidence of them in the fossil record, it’s from trackways, not from hard parts. From an old-earth perspective, that’s really weird, and hard to grapple with, because you have millions of years of trackway production, then ultimately the animal that made it. But that obviously doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Because if there’s trackways, there’s animals, and those animals have bones and teeth and shells to them, why aren’t they fossilized? Instead the pattern is telling us something different: there’s no time between when somebody leaves a track and when somebody’s buried.”
These are just a few of the many reasons to think that Creation and the Flood better explain the fossil record than evolution.
