Fossils are primarily formed through a process called sedimentation, where organic materials are buried under layers of sediment. Over time, pressure and mineral-rich water infiltrate the remains, causing the organic material to be replaced by minerals, effectively preserving the shape and structure of the original organism. This process can take thousands to millions of years, resulting in various types of fossils, including molds, casts, and true form fossils. Fossils provide crucial evidence for understanding the history of life on Earth and the evolution of species.

Are Religious and Scientific Theories of Creation Compatible?
Theory of Creation is not an acknowledge scientific theory. Science proposed Abiogenesis where life come to exist without need of creation. The Theory of Creation that require the supreme being to create life namely Intelligent Design (ID) had no root of support at all for the existence of God, Deities or Supreme being and their action. The Theory of Abiogenesis while lack of evidence supporting the full process, ID in other hand had nothing at all. The Theory of Creation by far believe in using irreducible complex to stated the process of Abiogenesis impossibility but it had nothing supporting even the existence of the creator. Degree of controversies among Religion to Science varies among religion of concern. Abrahamic's supporter usually in denial of the Abiogenesis theory and try to coin up their theory of creation. Indian's origin usually had nothing to concern or against the Abiogenesis and let the Science be. After all, even if Abiogenesis is not compatible to some of religions, it should not be put to bother since Abiogenesis is still on the long way of study. If the story of creation would be true, there would be the evidence in supporting. What we should do is seeking of evidence and not let the faith blind human process of seeking out truth.
Are genesis and the big bang theory the same?
No. Genesis is a book of the Bible, and is based on faith. The Big Bang Theory is a scientific theory based on astrophysic and cosmological calculations. That said, there are many who see some overlap to the creation and sequence of events the bible lays out in Genesis, and the BB theory.
How are fossils used to oppose the theory of evolution?
Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.
What is the study of fossils called?
paileeology. that's when you study fossils.
What primary difference between a scientific theory and a hypothesis is that a theory is?
A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
Does Dr George Marshall support creation theory?
There is no scientific theory of creation.
What is the scientific theory of creation?
The scientific theory of creation is not a recognized scientific theory. In science, the prevailing theory explaining the origins of the universe, Earth, and life is the theory of evolution by natural selection, which is supported by a large body of evidence from various scientific disciplines such as biology, genetics, geology, and paleontology. Creationism, on the other hand, is a belief system rooted in religious or mythological explanations for the origins of the universe and life.
Is there scientific proof for creation?
There is no scientific proof of a biblical creation. That is a matter of faith alone. The scientific consensus is that the universe came about as a result of an event popularly called the "Big Bang" which occurred around 13.7 billion years ago.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What is the study of fossils scientific and the study of special creation is not?
The answer to the question "Why is..." or "What makes..." is due to something called scientific method. The method entails generating an hypotheses, which can then be validated by independently gathered observable, empirical and measurable data.If all the currently available data does not contradict the hypotheses it is accepted as the current theory. As such evolution is a current theory which is not contradicted by current fact. Hence the study of fossils follows these principles, where as special creation can not be validated independently. ie. The text in the bible can not be tested by scientific method, since there are no observations that can be done that show the earth was created in 7 days, nor any observable data that corroborates that fact, rather data that contradicts that fact, and hence the bible (and most religious texts) fail as "hypotheses" since in scientific method nothing is fact, and the bible may be spiritual fact, but has failed the test of scientific validation.The study of fossils is paleontology.Hope this ansewered the forst part of your question.
What is Oscillation theory?
the oscillating theory of the universe suggests that the creation of this universe followed the death of the last universe. bethany punter wrote this - scientific genius :) hey scientific genius :) (bethany punter)
Is there a credible scientific theory that opposes evolution?
No, evolution is widely supported by scientific evidence and is considered a fundamental principle of biology. There is no credible scientific theory that opposes evolution.
What is creation theory?
It is not a theory; it is an ancient tradition. It states that the universe, and everything in it, originated through supernatural events (Creation), not random Evolution.

Is creationism a myth or a theory?
Creationism is a belief system that asserts that the universe and living beings originate from specific acts of divine creation. From a scientific perspective, creationism is considered a myth rather than a theory because it lacks empirical evidence and does not adhere to the scientific method of investigation and naturalistic explanations.
Is fossil record considered scientific theory?
Probably more in the line of many converging pieces of evidence in support of theory. Theory is explanation and fossils are just mineralized bones in the rock. which need and explanation. The fossil record supports the theory of evolution by natural selection and, some say, the theory of punctuated equilibrium.
Can you provide examples of falsifiability in scientific theories?
Falsifiability in scientific theories means they can be proven wrong through experimentation or observation. For example, the theory of gravity can be falsified if an object falls upwards instead of downwards. Another example is the theory of evolution, which could be falsified if no transitional fossils were ever found.
Why was the Expanding Earth theory rejected by the scientific community?
The Expanding Earth theory was rejected by the scientific community because it lacked substantial evidence and could not explain key geological phenomena, such as the movement of tectonic plates and the distribution of fossils across continents. Additionally, the theory did not align with established principles of plate tectonics and the understanding of Earth's structure and composition.
Why is Evolution taken as fact rather than theory versus Biblical Creation?
Evolution is widely accepted by the scientific community because it is supported by mountains of evidence from various fields like genetics, paleontology, and biochemistry. It is considered a scientific theory, which means it is a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence. Biblical Creation, on the other hand, is a belief based on religious texts rather than empirical evidence, and therefore is not considered a scientific explanation.
