This is what people are asking about, Buz. You have never provided any explanation of how rain and flooding can somehow alter the atomic structure of matter. Never mind providing evidence that such an alteration of reality ever happened. I'd like to just see the explanation, even if there's no evidence to support it.
Whether or not you realize it, what you're really saying, when you say that we can't make any assumptions about the pre-Flood world because the Flood somehow altered the atmosphere, is that rainwater has the magical power to alter the nature of matter itself. The only real "assumption" that the dating methods you don't believe in are making is that the carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. that we see today is the same thing as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen of 10,000 years ago, or 2 million years ago, or even 10 billion years ago.
I for one think that that's a pretty safe assumption to make.
Your beliefs do not effect reality and evidently reality does not effect your beliefs.

I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
