Here is what a textbook on geology says: “From Pre-Cambrian times down to the present, the perpetual process of building and destroying mountains has continued. ... Not only have mountains originated from the bottom of vanished seas, but they have often been submerged long after their formation, and then re-elevated.”2

mountains rise and fall and wen we find sea shells on the tops of mountains, we see evidence of that process

you're right
the bible is not a science book and doesnt claim to be
but when it does touch on science, its always accurate

actually i recall mentioning how mountains rise and fall of mountains into the sea... the earth is always moving as we know and there are are mountains deep down in the ocean beds and some have been pushed up to above the surface
i also posted a scripture that described this process
seriously, i dont claim to understand it all, but i am 100% convinced that their is a Creator and the bible is his word and hence I would always first assume that scientists may have the wrong idea... they have been known to change their opinions on things as their knowledge increases
just as a non believer would do in reverse when it comes to creation

Which is where we started: how can you tell whether this is just an ad hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy or not?
The question is what kind of time frame you think this occurs over, and how consistent is that with observations. Note that the evidence contains many layers of many generations of marine organisms in a mature ecosystem.
its obviously something that happens very slowly over a long period of time... there is no way anyone could witness it.

Good. Then you accept that the earth is 4.5 billion years old and that for at least 3.5 billion of those years life has existed?
The evidence of seashells on mountain tops is part of that evidence of age that adds up to an old earth.
absolutely! we dont know the exact age of the earth, but we know that each creative period spanned a very long time.
