TB, how can you sit there and write that stuff with a straight face? You postulate scenarios which have been debunked time and time again.
Accelerated radioactive decay? Enough heat to drive runaway subduction and boil all of the oceans dry. But you conveniently omit this little detail in your storytelling, despite the fact that it has been presented to you repeatedly. And if your fantasised accelerated radioactive decay made some rocks appear to be 4 billion years old, why don't all rocks appear this age?
Out of curiousity, how does your flood fantasy cope with the Great Dividing Range in Australia? There isn't enough ice to melt and cover them. They are not associated with any active tectonic plate collisions. So, how were they covered and subsequently uplifted? In your answer, please also maintain consistency with the postflood migration of the 18 pairs of marsupial and monotreme ancestors directly to Australasia without leaving any evidence of their journey from the middle east.

Couldn't have a more mundane explanation? Maybe an elephant?

You seem to be happy with just guessing.

If you’re implying that the flood was only a local flood you’re wrong. First of all logically it doesn’t make sence.
Logically a worldwide flood doesn't make sense or have supporting evidence.

Noah could have avoided the flood on foot,
Sure, that's why dozens, hundreds or thousands of people can be killed in local floods today. Pity they don't think to outrun the local flood.

and the ark’s size to so enourmouse it only makes sence if all the animals of the entire earth were to be gathered onto it.
How enourmouse? And how many animals would he have been trying to fit into his ark?

Besides that there are sediment layers all of the earth layed down by the flood, implying that it was anything but local.
There are sedimentary layers being laid today without the action of global or even local floods. I wonder what they would look like in a million years time.
