Now events like Mount St Helens don't occur every year or even every decade. Every hundred years would be my guess or at least every thousand years. In fact I'm certain that there would be several events within a thousand years that would form fossils. This makes sense because fossils are found all over the world. Yet unless you believe that the occurances of conditions that make fossils are more rare than the occurances of positive mutations you can't see the fossil record as anything more than a negative to the theory of evolution.
I have no idea what you're trying to claim with this paragraph. It doesn't make any sense. How on earth do you get from fossilization being a rare occurrence to the fossil record being a 'negative' to the Theory of Evolution?
