Fancy science here. I hope some day we take our blinders off and actually look at the geological evidence at hand and stop trying to make it fit into our "theories". I don't buy the creationist tale that the earth was created and all plant and animal life appeared in seven literal days. Nor do I buy the evolutionists fable that the earth must be a bazillion years old. The geological layer chart hanging in most classrooms does not actually exist anywhere on this planet. And no matter how technical we get with radiometric dating, the interpretation of the results is still based on our own preconceived assumptions. The evidence I've seen indicates that this was once a very warm planet with very lush vegetation, even at the poles. Something happened that drastically changed the climate very quickly, resulting in massive flooding that buried forests and other plant life in thick layers of sediment, caused continental plates to rise and fall, and eventually led to what we now call the "ice age". When and how all this occurred is a matter of debate, but as long as our scientists are more concerned about protecting their schools of thought and the validity of their precious "theories", it's doubtful that any thing close to the truth of what actually happened will ever reach our ears.
