The whole point of the fossil record is that it is predicated, truly, on three and a half billion years of history. Your perverted take on it, that somehow it's only a few thousand years old, represents a crude and evidence-innocent denial of everything that science is about. I tend to avoid feeling offended or insulted around here, but I must confess that, with the honourable exception of Shimrod, and one or two others who don't post so much on this topic in any case, it is frustrating to see how I am so much attacked while a charlatan like you gets a bye. I suppose that being a liar, a serial denier and insulter of science and a copy-and-paster from disreputable websites can be held in higher regard than an honest fellow who has simply decided that diplomacy isn't necessarily the highest priority. Still, I'm not jealous. Religion has a track record of celebrating liars. Just think of all those holy men (rarely women: go figure, as the yanks say) who peddle lies to children in schools and in church. They are your friends, pete, and, sadly for them, you are theirs.
