Seashells on tops of mountains.

Back in the days when I was still a creationist, I offered the flood model as the explanation for fossils found on mountain tops in my geology class. My teacher went up to the board and drew out something like this. Then she told me that water don't do this.Obviously, I didn't get it at the time. Took me about a decade to finally realize what she was trying to tell me.The fossils are not only found on mountain tops, but also are found on elevations that vary some thousands of feet. A world wide flood responsible for the deposition of these fossils would have distributed them at aproximately the same elevations throughout the world. In fact, if such is the case it would probably be the strongest evidence for a world wide flood.

I don't have a geology degree so this is only the layman talking in me.From what I understand, fossils are not only found on mountain tops but also IN them. Furthermore, they're also found IN mountains, not just mountain tops. And not every mountain top has fossils of sea shells.A violent world wide flood that covered even the highest mountain top we would expect to distribute things very evenly (that is if it's possible for a flood to bring up sea shells to some thousands and thousands of feet high). These same fossils are found on the sides of some mountains while are found on tops of other mountains. These locations are some thousands of feet high in variation.Make sense? Or am I babbling here?

Jesus christ, you don't even know your own bible. Rain fell for 40 days and it took another year or so for the water to recede. Here's the biblical reference.Gen 8:5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. If you're going to be a bible literalist, be a bible literalist. Don't make up your own BS. Have you ever come across a sea shell that got air trapped inside it? More to the point, have you ever come across a sea shell that floats? Again, if you're going to be a bible literalist, be one. Don't make up your own BS.Gen 7: 19-20 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. There is absolutely no evidence that the entire Earth was ever covered with water at any one time. Different parts of the planet have been covered at different times.If you're going to talk earth science, talk earth science. Don't make up your own BS.
