Creation geologists have shown that where overthrust faulting has taken place, there is considerable evidence to support such action. Uniformitarian geologists assert that overthrust faulting must have taken place in order to explain vast rock sequences that are "out of order" with respect to the evolutionary geologic column. In some of these supposed instances of overthrusting, there are none of the usual physical evidences to support overthrust action. Overthrust activity has been observed on a small scale along various fault escarpments of the San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971. In each case, the small overthrust manifested one or more of the expected evidences for overthrusting. This evidence supports the creation geologists in rejecting the overthrust hypothesis wherever physical evidence is lacking, despite the fact that large rock sequences are indeed out of order with the geologic column. It is asserted that the Flood view is a more natural view in that it does not demand a certain preconceived ordering of the fossils, and hence does not require postulating overthrusts where no physical evidence exists.
