I think I can almost agree with all of your comments Edge!
My main point that I have come to believe about mainstream geology is that it does not qualitatively or deterministically account for the GC to anywhere near the extent we are led to believe.
Our
qualitative mechanism is that the earth was finally entirely covered but that in the processes of somewhat local surges, many continents and sub-continents were inundated on multiple occasions.
