My image of the results of the "Great Flood" (presuming God pulled 2 miracles to produce all that water from "thin air", and then got rid of all that water, again to "thin air"):
Assuming that there was an extremely heavy world wide rain fall for 40 days and nights, I would expect that the results would be great areas of the continents largely stripped down to bedrock. This massive sediment load would be dumped as massive river deltas, which would contain large boulders from the ultra-high stream and river flow.
As such, the evidence would not be a world wide sediment layer, but rather vast areas of land devoid of sediment.
This would seem to be an "old earth" model. The geological evidence is totally at odds with a "young earth", unless God created it with apparent age.

Added by edit:
I read the previous message more carefully, after posting the above.
quote:
Even more to the point are the effects of the upland erosion that would result from intense, long-term, saturating rainfall scouring the supersaturated earth over a forty-day period...
That "upland erosion" was what I was think of, when I talked of the ground being stripped to the bedrock.
