"The only thing fossils in the geological colum present to us is that a creature that produced those fossils once lived."

Quite. The geological column also gives us some idea of when those creatures lived relative to other fossils in the geological column. This would hold true even if the earth were only 200 years old. So what happened to all those creatures that are no longer with us? Wasn't Noah supposed to take all animals onto the ark or did he miss a few? Is God not as clever as she thinks she is? Did she stuff up a bit with the creation and make creatures that couldn't survive?
