What is the earliest fossil record of a plant?
If they are the oldest fossils on record, they cannot be more than approximately 10,000 years old. Many scientists date fossils according to how old the geological layer is that they are found in. However, when asked how they know the age of the geological layer, they state that they know by the age of the fossils found in that layer. This is circular reasoning, with absolutely no scientific basis. Fossils cannot be dated using Carbon 14 methods, and there is no place on the earth where every geological layer is found intact in the same place. Therefore this negates the assumption that we can date the age of these layers, or the fossils found within these layers, by using one to date the other.
