Jeremiah 4 is not about earth! It is about Israel.
Fossils do not take millions/billions of years to form.
When Mount St. Helens erupted back in 80, and scientists were finally allowed entry, they found millions of new fossils.
They were made instantly due to the destruction and flood waters. Several layers of sediment were formed instantly at Mount St Helens. That is one of the single greatest evidences for the fossil record modern day science states takes billions of years to create.
I think CHristians miss the fact about the great flood, that it was a cataclysmic event. The fountains of the deep broke apart.
Ask yourself this: If what the Bible says about the Flood were true, what would we expect to see?
Fossil records in different layers of sediments? Yes.
