The Flood explains pretty much everything, where Geology is klutzy and incompetent, and the fossil order is some kind of odd illusion especially since no creature could have evolved from the others. Again, there is absolutely no way the strata as they exist as the Geological Column, spreading across thousands of square miles, could ever have come about if they represent time periods. It is a physical impossibility but that is something you deny.
Translation into the fact-based world:
Geology explains a great deal, while the Flood is ad hoc and impossible. The fossil order is one of the clearest examples of its problems as well as a record of evolution over time. The geological column could not have been formed by a global flood, nor any sequence of floods. The strata across the Earth vary in extent from mere feet to thousands of square miles, and contain a record of radiometric age that adds to what were once mere names given to time periods. Given all the contrary evidence and the physical impossibilities, the Flood is just a religious myth that some continue to cling to as if real.
