Doesn't what?
Again, you're missing the forest for the trees.
The ENTIRE "COLUMN" was laid down by the Flood. Every single layer.
Fossils are found in distinct layers of sedimentary rock, with older layers containing simpler, more primitive organisms and newer layers showing more complex forms.
All of the creatures found in the mile-deep of sedimentary layers are of their own "kinds."
Evolution didn't happen.
The layers were "sorted" during the flood.
Such "stratification" is indicative of gradual change and evolution over millions of years.
No, it isn't.
Especially when every single layer was laid down by water, and that's even confirmed by secular scientists.
Such rock only forms through deposition by water.
Radiometric dating shows the age of rocks and fossils
No, it just tells us how much of a certain radioactive material is in them or how much radiation it gives off.
Such radiometric readings (and thus, the "age" of such rocks/fossils) can be affected by external events, such as Z-pinch, which is when an electric current generates a magnetic field that compresses a column of plasma.
Do you know what happens when you compress quartz?
It generates a current.
Guess what's made largely out of quartz.
The crust of the earth.
What happens when the crust of the earth is flexed, resulting in compression and expansion of that quartz?
EXTREMELY large currents are generated.
And wouldn't you know it, as a result of z-pinch, matter is compressed, and given enough energy, radioactive elements can be created.
Which would throw off any scientist trying to "radiometrically date" a given rock or fossil, because it literally changes the base assumption of the amount of original radioactive material.
In other words, the Flood of Noah resulted in the creation of all or almost all of original radioactive material on earth.
Guess where 99% of all radioactive material is found on the earth?
In the earth's crust.
Which was greatly affected by the flood.
and shows that life on Earth has evolved over millions of years.
Sorry, but no.
You've been lied to, and fallen hook, line, and sinker for it.
The geological time scale shows the history of life including the advent of major events such as mass extinctions and also the beginning of new species.
The "geological time scale" is a myth perpetuated by scientists who reject the truth of Scripture.
It was, all of it, laid down within a year.
Fossil "succession" deals with the prevalence of specific kinds of fossils found at specific geological layers and such fossils are found in those same layers all over the world which supports evolution.
Or so evolutionists claim...
Were they to indicate a great global flood then there would have to have been repeated worldwide floods to create each geological layer with the same type of fossils in.
Still missing the forest for the trees, I see.
The fossil stratification also highlights extinction level events
Event. Singular.
There was ONE event. The Flood.
It wiped out all life on earth, save a man and his 7 family members, plus a few animals.
but crucially that after them, life once again began and started evolving again.
Live has never "evolved."
Adapted? Sure. Changed? Sure.
But macroevolution? No.
The record shows numerous extinction events not one. For example the Permian-Triassic extinction and the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction. In every case life continues to evolve afterward.
Made up nonsense to pull people away from God. They just dressed it up nicely so you wouldn't notice.
Fossilisation typically occurs under certain conditions, such as rapid burial in sediment, low oxygen environments, mineralisation and so on.
Things extremely common at the beginning of the flood.
Rapid burial: The fountains of the great deep launched material up into the air, and what didn't achieve escape velocity, fell back to earth and rapidly buried the creatures that could not escape to higher ground (which wouldn't have mattered anyways, since the flood covered the highest hills (There were no mountains before the flood, at least, not what we today would call "mountains.")) Have you ever noticed that not only are there fossils of things like clams at the tops of mountains, but that there are never any fossils of larger creatures? Could it possibly be because, due to their altitude, they would not have been buried, or at least, as rapidly, like creatures that could not make it to higher altitudes?
Low oxygen environments: lack of oxygen would definitely be a problem for things being buried in the debris from the flood, followed by drowning, which is also common for fossils...
Mineralization: You mean what causes fossils to turn to minerals? Or something else?
A global flood would need to have created uniform conditions across the entire planet and that just doesn't gel with the reality of the localised and varied conditions observed in fossilisation.
The whole earth was covered in water,
I'm not sure how that isn't "uniform conditions"...
Localised flooding can certainly lead to the burial of organisms and fossilisation, however the fossil record reflects a complex history of life involving various local and regional events rather than a single, worldwide flood.
Again, you've been lied to.
The "fossil record" as a whole is a snapshot of life on earth at the time of the Flood.
