I noticed Ashley's tribute to Brian Thomas of two years ago but decided that this deserves its own new topic. The nonsense from ICR just never ends. I saw this in one of his footnotes at http://www.icr.org/article/9518/
"For example, geologist John Reed listed these seven revealing problems with biostratigraphy in his 2013 book Rocks Aren't Clocks. Powder Springs, GA: Creation Book Publishers, 127:
1) This method depends on evolution. Any uncertainty about evolution translates into uncertainty about biostratigraphy.
2) Even if evolution is true, biostratigraphy depends on the rocks showing a representative record of evolutionary progress.
3) The fossil record as we know it does not show intermediate or transitional forms that show the evolutionary steps.
4) Using evolution to arrange the fossils and then claiming that the order of the fossils proves evolution is circular reasoning.
5) Evidence of catastrophic deposition implies the absence of 'paleoenvironments' which are the basis of the calim that the rocks show historically-reliable snapshots of the past.
6) Living fossils, such as the coelacanth, contradict evolutionary biostratigraphy.
7) The new practice of setting age boundaries by Global Stratotype Section and Points, or 'GSSPs' shows a lack of faith in conventional biostratigraphy."
Face-palm.
One doesn't have to be a geologist or paleontologist to see through these inane and illogical blubberings. My personal favorite is Number 4 is a reminder that someone needs to sit down with these Young Earth Creationists and explain to them the meaning of "circular reasoning" (and what isn't circular reasoning.) (Obviously, the "arrangement" of the fossils is determined within which strata we find them! John Reed makes it sounds like some "evolutionist" arbitrarily assigned them. Sheesh.)
