When people think of fossils, they usually think of “millions of years” too. But fossils can actually form quickly. For example, a petrified hat, a clock, and spark plugs have been found in rocks! Those obviously didn’t take millions of years to form!
And, well, fossils actually must form quickly. If a plant or animal dies, it will quickly decay, unless it’s quickly buried deep enough to protect it.
Around the world are billions and billions of fossils. What could rapidly bury so many creatures? Well, it didn’t happen slowly over millions of years. It’s all a result of the worldwide flood, described in Genesis.
