Creationists actually pioneered the concept of a "geologic column". It was found that it couldn't be reconciled with reality and abandoned. Then evolutionists came along and snapped it up.

Creationists on the eastern side of the Atlantic still tend to believe a little too much of what they're taught without critically examining it. But they're coming along, and making very good progress in many areas.

He says that the layers in the geologic column show that fossils of the “rapid breeders” are on bottom layers because their numbers would have immediately been more numerous after coming off the ark, hence more chance of them being fossilised. He puts the flood layer at the Precambrian-Cambrian border.

Unfortunately for Surtees, all this reflects is wishful thinking, ignorance of basic science, and an unwillingness to check out his hypotheses.

Take this “rapid breeders” nonsense. Some amphibians are slow breeders (look up salamanders) and some mammals are rapid breeders (look up mice). Yet we know from the fossil record that amphibians evolved before mammals. He's really grasping at straws here. I won't even go into his weird ideas about animals magically shrinking and their reproduction being put on hold while on the ark.
You're a hoot. You can't even for one solid minute take a look at a model on its own merit. Nothing "evolved" according to any interpretation of the evidence which admits the flood.

I doubt his model includes magic either, although I can't watch videos at this time.
