  The thesis said:

  Many Physical Evidences Contradict the "Billions of Years"

  Of the methods that have been used to estimate the age of the earth, 90 percent point to an age far less than the billions of years asserted by evolutionists. A few of them follow.

  Evidence for a rapid formation of geological strata, as in the biblical flood. Some of the evidences are: lack of erosion between rock layers supposedly separated in age by many millions of years; lack of disturbance of rock strata by biological activity (worms, roots, etc.); lack of soil layers; polystrate fossils (which traverse several rock layers vertically -- these could not have stood vertically for eons of time while they slowly got buried); thick layers of "rock" bent without fracturing, indicating that the rock was all soft when bent; and more. For more, see books by geologists Morris[26] and Austin.[27]

  My cat could find flaws in this, and my cat thinks sitting in boxes is cool;

  "lack of erosion between rock layers supposedly separated in age by many millions of years"

  Eroded by WHAT? Sedimentary rocks are deposited on the underlying strata underdawater; they don't show wear until the rate of erosion is greater than the rate of deposition. Igneous and metamorphic rocks might not not even be near water or air for millenia after they've been made.

  "lack of disturbance of rock strata by biological activity (worms, roots, etc.); lack of soil layers;"

  Errrr... yah, granite worms and trees that grow 2 miles underground, and magama dwelling ants. Balls.

  "polystrate fossils (which traverse several rock layers vertically -- these could not have stood vertically for eons of time while they slowly got buried)"

  And sticks don't stick in the ground if you insert one end...

  "thick layers of "rock" bent without fracturing, indicating that the rock was all soft when bent"

  Or bent very slowly; works if it's the right rock and you are a subcontinent hit another tectonic plate
