We are all aware that mountains can vary in height. I grew up in the foothills of the Windriver range of the Rockies in Wyoming. I packed back into the mountains on hunting and fishing trips with my parents and friends. The Windriver Range did not appear to have been worn down significantly nor were the rivers, riverbeds and valleys necessarily sandy implicating creation of sand.
First the Windrivers (I love those mountains!) are eroding significantly, at a measurable rate.
Second (and I'm presuming you're talking about streams IN the Windrivers?), most of the waterways up in the mountains are headwaters and are doing most of their weathering by chemical means. Not only that, but flow in those channels is highly variable and beds tend not to have a huge sand bedload. That being said, the bedloads of many of the channel's I have seen in the Windrivers were definitely sandy.
2. The Ocean beaches and shallow areas which were affected by tides appear to be where the uniform sanding occurs. Perhaps the premordial soup had currents and movement due to the Moon tides etc.
What does "uniform sanding" mean? I have no idea what you're talking about.
3. As I understand it, mainline science believes that the ancient earth was significantly more watery than the present earth and the atmosphere has changed.
There have been times in Earth history with higher sea levels than today, where much of the currently exposed land was submerged. Is this what you mean by more watery?
4. As per the Genesis model, there was no atmosphere until God intervened in the working on the premordial earth. No atmosphere = high incidence of bombardment upon earth from asteroides and debris from space being that the ionosphere (if I recall correctly) is what keeps these things from destroying the planet as it is.
This bombardment would likely have pulverized a lot of rock as well as create monster waves and erosion to form much of the sand observed today.
If there is no atmosphere, where does the water come from (waves and erosion)?
