Open Question: Can anyone answer these science questions?

Open Question: Can anyone answer these science questions?
All my teachers gave us a whole bunch of of work and my science teacher gave us the most work so i'm just trying to get it all done as quick as i can. So here are the questions: 1. Why does sedimantary rock almost always forms in horizontal layers. 2. What type of rock are you most likely to find a fossil- sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous. 3. Why do geologist consider metals to be nonrenewable resources and what is one way to conserve metals. Thanks!

Open Question: What transitions of species are supported in the fossil record?
"...I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transition in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them...Yet Gould and the American Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are no transitional fossils...I will lay it on the line--there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument." (Personal letter from Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History in London, to L. Sunderland.) "Despite the bright promise that paleontology provides a means of ‘seeing' evolution, it has presented some nasty difficulties for evolutionists, the most notorious of which is the presence of ‘gaps' in the fossil record. Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them..." (David B. Kitts, Ph.D. -- Zoology, Head Curator, Department of Geology, Stoval Museum, and well-known evolutionary paleontologist. Evolution, Vol. 28) "When the blood of a seal, freshly killed at McMurdo Sound in the Antarctic was tested by carbon-14, it showed the seal had died 1,300 years ago." (From W. Dort Jr., Ph.D. -- Geology, Professor, University of Kansas, quoted in Antarctic Journal of the United States) "The hair on the Chekurovka mammoth was found to have a carbon-14 age of 26,000 years but the peaty soil in which is was preserved was found to have a carbon-14 dating of only 5,600 years." (Radiocarbon Journal, Vol. 8) "One is forced to conclude that many scientists and technologists pay lip-service to Darwinian theory only because it supposedly excludes a Creator." (Dr. Michael Walker, Senior Lecturer in Anthropology, Sydney University, quoted in Quadrant) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-UCo7JQm-A&feature=related

Open Question: The issues concerning global warming, energy independence and the economy are all linked together, right?
I think so. If we address the issue of climate change by using more alternative technology to cut our consumption of fossil fuel and thus cut down the production of CO2, we can solve these issues while creating a green economy as well which will cut our dependence from foreign oil and create jobs here while saving people lots of money that would otherwise go to fossil fuels. Its a triple win situation, correct? We can hit three birds at once here!
