A common argument advanced by proponents of macroevolution is that “we find no fossils in strata that don’t match our predictions” or other arguments supporting the uniformity of the fossil record. At face value, this seems to support the claim that the fossil record provides a consistent, orderly archive of life’s evolutionary progression over millions of years. It suggests that each fossil species is neatly confined to a specific time period, reinforcing the evolutionary narrative. However, this oversimplified claim neglects the numerous instances of fossils found in unexpected locations, alongside the flaws in dating methods used to support these predictions. When we take a closer look at the fossil record and the methods used to date fossils and strata, the claim begins to unravel, revealing a far more complex and inconsistent reality. In this article, we will explore several lines of credible evidence that challenge the notion that the fossil record is perfectly consistent with ev...
