Have you tried looking at the bottom of the oceans, that's where the rivers tend to flow.
Meaning what? You do realize that as rivers flow they deposit silt and sediment? In a global flood, we should see all type of rock and silt mixed into one layer as all it would have deposited within a very short time. Nothing like this exists anywhere on the planet.

I would expect that the sediment would contain fossils in the order they were washed away.
Except that Genesis states that the flood was very turbulent and chaotic, which would have mixed up organisms and then deposited by fluid mechanics.

Stone and metal tools would be found where they were dropped.
Silly. So you're saying if we take billions of gallons of water, add huge amounts of energy to them, that stone and metal tools
won't move?

Your assuming that this is a single homogeneous layer.
Why wouldn't there be? What change in physics are you proposing? Furthermore, what EVIDENCE do you have for such a radical change in physics?

Without doing any maths I would guess that this level would be insignificantly low. And there's salt everywhere.
But it should be detectable. The variations within the large oceans that are freely connected (read not meditarrian) should have extremely low deviations of salinity.

No there is not. This has already been established. Furthermore, any mantle sources of water would be superheated. Try see how long your pets last in a world that has just got up 212 Fahrenheit.
