Nowadays, that theory is rejected. Friedrich Wohler was able to synthesize urea from cyanic acid and ammonium, both being inorganic matter. <---This disproves the theory of vitalism.
I think the answer is "the older it is"
Reason: I might be wrong but is something (like a shell) gets buried in something (like sand), overtime many things (like dirt, soil, sand, etc.) will be on top of the original. This will make layers. So, the older rock is on the bottom since it has been there for the longest and it gets covered by other stuff (causing the layers).
Hope this helps! :) (If I'm wrong, sorry :( )
