How do you explain simple organisms being found on the bottom layer of the geologic column?
Simple ones appeared on Earth first and more complex organisms evolved over time, so they were in younger layers of rock.
The sediments moved by the flood would have trapped simple organisms quickly. Upper layers contain more complex ones because they could survive longer.
More complex organisms didn't even exist until after the flood.
When the earth was formed only simple organisms were on Earth.
