... the flood doctrine usually states that mountains were formed after the flood.
Like most of creationism, that's totally unBiblical.
quote:
Gen 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
There were mountains before the flood. The question would be: How did seashells get to the tops of those mountains (in multiple layers)?

... the above series of texts indicates lower mountains/hills before the flood, taking less water to cover the earth than by the elevation of mountains which we observe.
I don't see anything in the texts you cited about the mountains being lower before the flood. I don't see anything in Psalm 108 about mountains at all.
(And by the way, it's Psalm 108 - singular, not plural. You're old enough to get that right.)
I'm applying logic and reason to the Biblical historical record....
Since you used the word "likely" six times, I'd suggest you're applying mostly speculation.
