There are several present day examples of quick petrification (eg, the Church de Salut in Venice, Italy) that belie the need for periods of time longer than 100s of years, or even just decades. Most of the fossils we see are pretty much exactly as present day animals, pointing to a much younger earth than posited by evolutionists. Also, the volcanic activity happening underground would push the waters in such a way as to cause the layering of rock that we see in abundance, as well as creating mountains by the force of the rushing water. This explanation accounts for all of the fossils that have been laid down all over the earth, as the process of fossilization is exactly what you would expect with water covering the entire earth. God created the world, but because of the great sinfulness of man, He caused a great flood to come upon the earth, destroying all of mankind, except for eight people, and much of animal life.
