In laymen’s terms it’s not to complex unless you try to make it so, every year thousands of tons of vegetable matter falls to the floor and is turned to mud by worms, anything that dies during that year also goes onto the mud and depending on many factors,ie oxygen,moisture, acidity, alkalinity etc depends on how it decomposes or in some cases is preserved, over many more thousands of years that will end up a long way down, no magic beings or conspiracy’s just plain and simple Mother Nature recycling everything and the earths crust getting deeper each year as a consequence 

Can you show us any of these layers forming greyman in real time without adding assumptions?

How would you explain the poly strata trees,top of it in one layer an the bottom in a different layer,obviously these layers or coloums arent millions of years old?

By the way I'm not saying these certain layers ain't forming I'm saying there not millions of years old.

Best just to be happy in your own choice of god mate,  I don’t need to explain or justify anything  I,m a very simple son of the soil type and to me Mother Nature is all around me I can see her, smell her and feel her effects and see how we are displeasing her and when we have pissed her off enough she will send us a real pandemic or other huge natural disaster to knock us back to the beginning and just as it says in your book the meek will once again inherit the earth, it’s just the merry go round of life mate but if there is money involved it’s generally a con, and Mother Nature does not walk past shaking a collection box after every dawn chorus so I will stick with her cheers

Haha grey I'm not interested in a debate about God,I never mentioned it at all mate,but while you've mentioned it believing in God has nothing to do with money,that is organised religion,anyway back to the SCIENCE lol

Everywhere you look, intelligent design so complicated and wonderful but so common that we don’t give it a second glance ?……..I just find it hard to buy the “it’s a total accident” theory.

I can buy biological evolution up to a point. It’s easy to see how a species would evolve to become bigger, faster, stronger, have longer horns or tusks etc. all through natural selection.

I can’t believe that that same process, even given hundreds of millions of years, results in some of the clever mimicry and camouflage we see in nature. An orchid doesn’t just evolve through random mutations to wind up looking like a bee.., or a stick insect like a dead leaf, or a caterpillar like a snake or a butterfly like an owl.., but these things all exist. It has to have been something conscious.

Remember working in the tail gate down the pit and some muck falling Away to expose a fossilised tree trunk. It stopped the job for an hour so lad's on the district could come and look at it before it got broken up and put on the panzer chain. First thing I thought when I saw it was this would have been a living tree when dinosaurs ruled the world we also found a few small pieces of rock with small fossilised leafs that looked like they come off a small fern plant . Looking back now I wish I had put a few I found in my snap tin and brought them home.

Reading this thread makes me smile. Just a short way out, on the beach at Mablethorpe are the remains of an ancient forest. Goodness knows how old. Jok.

Mostly plants mate, bark fern ect

Did you only find them on certain seams mate. We had the swallow wood and haigmoor seams and development on the parkgate seams and if my memory serves me right it was on the swallowood we found these fossils.
