Question

Provide specific references to glaciation.

~Thanks~ =)

Answer 1

For the same reason the desert in Africa was called the Sahara Forest at one time. Things change. The sea levels at one time were different than they are today. As the water began freezing and created Ice Caps, the marine animals were stranded on land and then were covered by other solid materials. The Earth was warmer and the polar Ice Caps melted once again, washing new debris over the areas of the older seas. Global warming has happened before and will happen again, as will the Ice Ages. Nature is more cyclical than most scientists want to admit or study. They take a too-narrow view of geologic time when they think up crazy theories to support unsupportable ideas.

Answer 2

It depends on your world-view. Most Scientists believe that the earth is billions of years old and it's geology has changed dramatically over long periods of time. Places that are now above ground used to be underwater which is why there are marine fossils there. They use "Sea-Floor Spreading" as the method of this. The Sea Floor spreads and pushes underwater land masses up out of the water over millions of years.
A large portion of Americans however, are Bible literalists. If you ask one of them why there are marine fossils all over the world they would tell you that it is a result of the Flood of Noah.
Either way, it's interesting. You can actually find giant petrified clams in the closed possition on top of Mt. Everest! I'm not sure what glaciation has to do with it though...?

Read Genesis.
