Everyone knows YECs mine the Genesis flood account to rationalize every geophysical phenomenon. They say strata were laid by the flood, fossils formed by the flood, continents moved around by the flood, mountains raised by it, canyons etched by it. Water is magic: it does anything a YEC needs it to do. Saying 'flood' is like saying 'abracadabra.' It makes the magic happen.
Scientists usually respond to this on an item-by-item basis. They explain why this or that geophysical feature could not have been formed in such a way. They show how other well-documented processes account for what we see. Such responses are informative and our scientists are to be thanked for taking the time to provide them.
I suspect, though, that we might benefit from a scientific discussion of this from another angle:
How would the earth look today if there had been a global catastrophic flood between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago?
Real water isn't magic. It behaves in real ways.
What would we find today--in rocks, in the atmosphere, in flora and fauna?
