If it really rained for forty days and nights, rained enough to cover the world's tallest mountains, that means there would have to have been hundreds of billions of tons of water in order to cover the entire planet.
That means there couldn't be anywhere left for the water to go. Everything would be filled up with water. This means cave systems would have had to have been filled with water too.
So, why isn't there any evidence of a worldwide flood in cave systems such as Mammoth Cave National Park?
And two, where could all the water have gone to?
If it evaporated, how could it have evaporated so quickly?
In addition to cave systems, there should be evidence of the flood everywhere.
You should be able to do an excavation in your back yard and find it.
At the time period attributed to the flood, ca. 4,350 years ago, you are dealing with soils, not geological formations. (Scratch the k-t and the Cambrian.)
So why aren't creationists out digging in their back yards? Or at least accompanying archaeologists along on excavations to see for themselves what the soils around 4,350 years ago look like?
Because the evidence isn't there and everyone knows it.
That's why they have to propose outlandish places where the evidence is hiding, like the k-t and the Cambrian.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

AnswersInGenesis seems to be confused about when cave-formation took place:
quote:Thus, cave formation is not necessarily a post-Flood phenomenon as Strahler thought. It could have formed anytime after the limestone was first deposited in the Flood, since hydrothermal water would be expected to begin moving through the limestone soon after deposition.
Not necessarily post-Flood but after the Flood?
I'm under the impression that creationists generally believe caves to have formed after the flood, so lack of flood evidence in the caves is not a problem for them. Of course, they still have to scramble to squeeze cave-formation into a very short time span and to explain where the water went.

But you realize that the scientists who have proved these so-called facts are all atheists, right?
