Geology shows that fossils are of different ages.
Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time.
Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species.
Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together.
Creationism is the practice of squeeezing one's eyes shut and wailing "does not!.
Does this sound familiar..?

well, going to have to go against you in some respects. You through out a lot of big words like an expert ..are u?
Did you know that layers of strata are used to date fossils? for instance if a fossil is in a particular layer of strata it means it came from a certain age. Yet there are several places in the world where this strata is not lined up like in other places.. how do the scientists explain this? well they say it musta been an earthquake. When you ask them then how is the strata lined up so perfectly there are no breaks or fissures like what you would see from an earthquake.. the scientist has no reasonable answer. They begin to hypothisize. This is just one example out of 1000's of problems with all the ology's you mentioned. The scientist doesnt have all the answers.. nor is it likely they ever will.
I dont discount evolution. because i dont believe it discounts my belief in God.
Good day

A fact is something that is proven by science. Evolution is only a theory. I think the bigger question is why do so many people treat it like it's fact? Seems like by now people would come up with better explanations, but they keep going back to the one that will probably never become fact because they keep finding holes in the theory. Do some ACTUAL research and you will figure that out.

I'm not sure what your asking, but I will say that most of the world's geologists, paleontologists, and taxonomists are religious; mostly christian. Evolution does exist, but not in the huge sense you are implying. Besides, even if it does, who's to say there isn't a higher power controlling and overseeing the evolution. Does everything have to be so black and white?

It sounds vaguely like something I've heard before. . . Names float through my head. Cameron and Comfort, Behe, Dembski, Cordova. Ken Ham, and Kent Hovind.
Sounds like every argument a creationist has. "But The Bible Says So!!"

Oh, I know I know.
What is a Creationist's Theory?
