non-uniformitarianism and the Anthropic Principle

How then if you don't agree with uniformitarianism can you even use flood deposition processes that occur today as evidence for a flood that happened in the past. How do you know the processes are the same? In essence, you can't.
Another thing that strikes me as strange is some of these creationists make wild claims that the laws of physics were different before the flood i.e. radioactive decay was different, and then use the Anthropic Principle to say that the Universe was created perfectly for life on earth; that if any of the physical constants were even a millionth of one percent different life could not exist.
I don't know if it is the same folks saying both things but I would not be surprised.
