However, linking back to evolution -- how does any of this negate the evidence for that? We're still looking at a fossil record which has been sorted in a precise order all around the world, for example. It's entirely possible not to be a materialist, and also to accept that there is a lot of evidence that evolution occurred. In fact it's exciting to wonder about some of the ways it might have happened from a non-materialist/reductionist point of view.


The geologic column was concocted 150 years ago. It contradicts the facts of rapid strata formation with mixed fossils everywhere and huge petrified logs straddling many strata layers; including coal seams also rapidly laid down.

When fossils ARE found, what do we find? Plants, insects/animals which have barely changed over the "millions" of years they supposedly "evolved". Yet we find NO sign whatsoever of evolution then, nor now. They are completely formed, rather than on their way to becoming "something" or something "else". They have shown nothing new than what we see today - variation within different kinds. No inbetween or partially formed creatures. In fact, many of these identical fossils are actually larger, often by many times than their modern counterparts. Showing devolution rather than evolution!

Whether it's insects, plants, animals, etc, they all remain barely changed or identical and here are some examples of how little things have actually changed: (these below images and comments are taken from http://www.wasdarwinright.com/livingfossils.htm).

The fossil liquidambar leaf (above) is allegedly about 20 million years old on the evolutionists’ time-scale. This specimen is from ‘Miocene’ brown coal in north-western Germany. Yet the leaves are almost identical to the living variety (below), showing no evolution.

Pictures of fossilised insects:

(Whether bees or ants, cicadas or beetles, termites or cockroaches, the fossils of these and other insects are always practically identical with (though often larger than) their modern descendants. The same applies to the arachnids and myriapods).

The oldest known fossils of jellyfish have been found in rocks in Utah that are more than 500 million years old, a new study reports This is another example of a living fossil, with little change in appearance as far as can be seen from the fossil record to the modern equivalent.

These jellyfish (above left) left their lasting imprint because they were enclosed under pressure in fine sediment (rather than coarse sand) so suddenly that their soft ephemeral invertebrate bodies were perfectly imprinted. An area in South Australia covering hundreds of square kilometres shows immense numbers of such-like jellyfish fossils (evidentally trapped by some massive wide-scale, powerful, rapid hydraulic flows).
On the right is the modern jellyfish equivalent.


Fish
Below is a living coelacanth (a crossopterygian fish) from Grand Comoro Island in the Indian Ocean. Its fossil counterpart (beneath it) is allegedly 300-400 million years old. No evolution has taken place.

Tiger

The nearly 90-million-year-old tiger fossil pictured, identical to present-day specimens, is one of the proofs that evolution never happened.

In claiming that mammals are descended from reptiles, Darwinists point to fossils of certain reptiles that are now extinct. The fact that these creatures are extinct lets Darwinists engage in whatever speculations they like. However, scientific research and investigation has revealed the invalidity of their claims. For example, as a result of the investigation of the brains of such reptiles, it was concluded that these life forms did not possess mammalian characteristics, but bore a complete resemblance to reptiles. The fossil record has also revealed that the different mammal species emerged with all the characteristics they possess and never changed thereafter.

Please visit the Fossil Museum website which will show you MANY pages worth of fossil pictures of many different animals/mammals/insects etc showing little to no change over the "supposed" millions of years these creatures have supposedly been evolving.
