All of you failed to agnowledge inverted polystrate tree fossils and hypothesize how they are formed. Rapped deposition or not no uprooted tree would ever survive long enough to be buried by strata: it would decay long before this.
Short response version:
Even if mainstream science totally granted the above as correct, it would still have no real significance in the big picture of geologic history.
Long version:
Mainstream geologic thought does not deny that rapid deposition can happen. Rather than refuting uniformitarianism, it is part of uniformitarianism. Processes that happen in the present have also happened in the past.
Now I don’t know the details of the deposits, but I suspect they are indeed from some variety of flood or series of floods, probably relatively small scale. The time frame of the deposition? — It could be a day, a year, a decade or more. Depending on the type of tree and the oxygen present, a tree could take a long time to decompose. So, even granting a flood, it doesn’t strongly support the more or less year long flood as described in the Bible.
You seem to be invoking your own extreme variety of uniformitarianism. That is, since rapid deposition is possible, then all deposition is rapid. There is strong evidence to the contrary, both in the present and the past.
Now, if you had very widely found such deposits, at various elevations, that could be correlated as having happened at about the same time (possibly within a year), then you would be getting somewhere in documenting a really big flood. Alas, such does not exist in the real world.
Even if such did exist within the geologic deposits as we know them, it would still not account for the vast amount of time consuming deposition and other geologic processes found elsewhere in the geologic record (all those various rocks, eroded rocks, folded rocks, faulted rocks, metamorphosed rocks, etc.). What you would have is a big flood in the context of an old Earth. Young Earth creationism is a dead concept right from the word young.
