The geological evidence, for instance, that is currently appropriated to old earth theory, is much better support for a worldwide Flood
Sure. It's easy for you to just sit back and say the flood is responsible for everything on the planet because all you're doing is looking at names and pictures of rocks on websites.
Why don't you attempt to explain to us exactly HOW (i.e., under what specific conditions, changing chemistry, changing source rocks, etc.) the flood would deposit shale vs. limestone vs. sandstone. You see all those rocks in the Grand Canyon - WHY?
And then explain things like HOW you can have
freshwater limestone being deposited during the flood - in the Grand Canyon's Temple Butte Limestone.
In fact, the Temple Butte Limestone is composed of
freshwater limestone (replete with freshwater fossils and plant roots casts) in the east AND
marine dolomite (replete with marine fossils) in the west. Additionally, it also contains sandy dolomite, ripple-laminated mudstones, sandstone, and conglomerates. How is that possible?
Why is the Temple Butte Limestone discontinuous - occurring in some places and not in others? What caused the depressions at the top of the Muav Limestone?
Have you read any papers specific to each formation in the Grand Canyon?
Here is a
LINK that provides references for each formation in the Grand Canyon. Unless you have read at least one paper (not a website) detailing each formation, you don't know a thing about the geology at the Grand Canyon. And you most certainly cannot suggest, based on your exceedingly limited understanding of the actual rocks at the Grand Canyon, that the rest of the world's rocks must also have been deposited by a flood.
