In the crust, fossils are sorted mainly by habitat and mobility. This is consistent with biblical view of a rapid burial during the Flood of Noah, with adjacent strata being formed within weeks of each other. Because the waters of the Flood were turbulent, it is not surprising if some fossils are "out of order"According to evolution, fossils should be arranged in a simple-to-complex sequence, with older fossils in lower strata and younger fossils in higher strata. Since each stratum supposedly formed over thousands or millions of years, there should not be an "older" stratum above a "younger stratum"
