Tell me, have you ever heard of a flood making a mountain? Can you explain how water could do this?
I highly doubt physics would be on my side if I claimed such a thing. I apologize for not being more specific, as I was referring to the Flood as an event rather than the rainy day most critics think of.
First, I would like to add that water would have came up from the ground and from the air. I don't think I would invoke supernatural physics in the processes of the Flood. Although, I am inclined to suggest that since we have never seen something of the Flood's magnitude it would be hard to test against an actual control model.

11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
As we can see, the Bible clearly states that there were fountains in the far reaches of the earth and that these were broken up (which could mean a few things, I will return to this later). Also that the windows of heaven were opened. We could assume many things just from this verse, allow me to provide my hypothesis, this is off topic so I will figure out how to make a thread pertain to the basic fundamentals of the Flood; how it could have happened. I hope you will join me.
The question is what the evidence for this happening would look like and whether we can find anything like that in the geological record. What is the process that forms mountains then, complete with all their layers and fossils, different kinds of rocks, etc.
We can look at areas that did have massive, regional floods (the scablands for example), but we don't see any universal evidence.

(the thread Was there a worldwide flood? talks about these too - good reading)
Your thoughts?
Enjoy.
