Please explain the shell fossils found high up in mountain ranges.
How about plate tectonics? The limestone found in the Himalaya mountains was laid down under a shallow ocean, and uplifted to form the mountains when the Indian sub-continent collided with Asia.
This should be basic reading in any elementary school science textbook. That Creationists repeat it systematically indicates a fundamental lack of science literacy, and I think it is fair of me to berate them on this point.

The only thing that could have put them up there is alot of water.
Again you are making the assumption that the mountains pre-date the shells. Also, don't you suppose that "alot [sic] of water" would wear those mountains down until they had rounded tops? Or at the very least, leave deposits of frozen driftwood up there? Also note that water would leave extensive cross-bedding up there, and I'm not aware of any.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that someone put the fossils up there and buried them for others to find.
Hah hah.

Please explain the uniform current shifts in the sediments found all around the world.
Excuse me. Perhaps you would like to provide a journal cite because I haven't heard of this. In fact, there is no universal marine sediment for this alleged "uniform current shift" to occur in.
We have a geologist here. Maybe your claims makes some sense to him.

Please explain why dinosaurs don't exist anymore.
A large impact in the Yucatan Peninsula. It also deposited iridium, coesite, and microtektites into the K/T boundary. Floods, even global floods, don't do that.

But I keep forgetting you guys don't believe in Noah and the ark carrying surviving animals.
Now you are apparently through contradicting science and are now contradicting your own religion. See Genesis 7:8. Everything that breathes air, including dinosaurs, were supposedly placed on this boat. So go find another possibility for their extinction.
Or, what would impress me more, would be if you found a dinosaur fossil with a spearpoint lodged in it...
