[QUOTE=srmclauren] Is it true that the “geologic column” only exists in textbooks? [/quote] No. > [@](#): > > Is it consistant all over the earth?

Both the layers and the fossils can be conclusively dated independently of each other but sometimes layers can be assigned an estimated age based on fossils. This is only a kind of “shorthand,” though. The dates are always confirmed by other methods. > [@](#): > > Does it seem like this is going around in circles? Only if you don’t know what you’re talking about. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-more-proof-of-jesus-than-evolution/369054)._
