ABB,
One could try to claim early life and rock were set down by God, but the major trouble is that most life Noah led up the ramp would not have evolved yet if you consider that pesky geologic column.
Nor does it explain all that sedimentary rock below the CB that looks exactly like the rock above it that was allegedly laid down in the flood. Nor does it explain how all the Precambrian fossils got where they are. Nor does it explain why radiometric dating shows no anomoly whatsoever when moving down the geologic column from the "present" into the Precambrian. Surely a flood would have messed things up a
bit? But no, you can move down the GC uninterupted, & the rocks date older & older regardless of whether they were laid down by an alleged flood, or not.
The only other 'logical' choice could be aroung the coal forming ages, but we have seen in debate here the problems it has. I need to kill a few brain cells and go google creationist flood theory.
This presents even more of a problem, there are more pre-flood fossils to explain. The radiometric dating problem outlined above still exists, & so the the indiscriminate nature of pre-flood & flood sediments.
This is a flood, I am told, that accounts for the geologic column & the fossils contained within it. Such a cataclysm must have left evidence. The rocks that are undisturbed by the flood should be in obvious evidence, & so should the layers deposited after the flood. There should be two crashingly obvious unconformities with flood strata in the middle. But there aren't.
There is a fairly obvious conclusion to draw from this.
