Yes, i agree i might have been to narrow minded but, i asked these people who are devout Christians who visited my school a while back. I think they were evangelicals or Jenova witnesses or something.

I said:

How did fossils come about on the Earth?

(I knew the answer but i wanted to see there response)

They said: God created fossils on the 3rd day

I said: But ive been told that they were formed when sedimentary rock containing dead animals gets compressed over time.

They said it was a common misconception.

I didnt really have any way to argue back as how would i know what truly happened millions of years ago? It was just what i had been taught, how do they know its true?
