Re:

It wouldn't be a raft of topsoil, you need to think hydroponics, and theorize this would hold true for earthworms, too. Were talking oxygenated water, nutrient rich silts washing thru the debris, if the matrix is oxygenated, is there any reason the earthworms wouldn't beable to absorb oxygen, as long as excess moisture is draining thru the debris thats floating above the waters.
An earthworm's skin needs to be moist for the very same reason your lungs have to be moist. The moisture is required for gas exchange. And just like us, if their "lungs" are completely covered in inches of water they will drown. So no, this will not work.

Were talking of a whole lot of debris, trees, brush, grass, leaves no reason it wouldn't tangle together compacting enough, for earth worm habitats.
Sorry, doesn't work. This was a violent flood, so we wouldn't have areas that are both dry and moist enough for earthworm habitats. They would die.
quote:
Salt water would of killed the earthworms, but over the continents it was fresh water raining down, causing the welling up of waters over the continents.
Doesn't matter, fresh water will drown the earthworms as quickly as salt water. Secondly, you have no evidence of these environments that you speak of, so arguing with you is a moot point anyway.
