Steno's law of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rocks the oldest is on the bottom and the youngest is on the top.
Emphasis on undisturbed. Tectonic activity can overturn rock beds and rendered this law inapplicable

I think you mean "superposition".
The Law of Superposition states that in undisturbed rocks, the oldest are on the bottom and the youngest are on the top.

No, no, no. Not the law of Superposition, Geomatic. The Law Of Superstition is what he asked about. That's the law that says all rock layers were formed during the Great Flood with Noah 4,400 years ago.
