Though I was quite interested in the topic 20-30 years ago, I no longer pay much attention to detailed "origins" debates.
However, on another site, a discussion veered into the topic. One poster is making much of the idea that fossilization requires rapid burial, if I'm understanding him correctly. IIRC, this "proves" a worldwide cataclysm, or else "ancient" fossils would be vanishingly rare.
I assume Old-Earth / Non-Global Flood (or No Flood) people have addressed this idea. Is there a concise and digestible presentation anywhere? I'd like to consider both sides.
