as edge says, the sediments are deposited in transgressing seas.
I think you are misinterpreting what edge is saying. He is not saying that deposition
only happens when the sea level is rising (transgressing). Deposition happens whenever the surface is covered by water and there is a source of depositional material.

They'd flow around rocks, not deposit from above.
Most of the time, the depth increase when seas are transgressing would be extremely gradual, just as rising sea level is today. There would be little or no current resulting from transgression.

Funny how OE theory has all these worldwide floods that come and go, instead of the one Flood that did it all at once.
Funny how YE explanations try to fit billions of years of erosion and deposition into 6000 years.
The evidence shows that the Colorado Plateau has been flooded and exposed many times over the last 2 billion years.
The layers that lay below the Great Unconformity were fractured and tilted and then eroded long before they were flooded and subsequently buried by thousands of feet of more layers.
Geology does not have any worldwide floods, but there have been many regional floods. These floods were extremely slow and often lasted for millions of years.
Faith, basically you are trying to account for all the geological evidence on the planet with 40 days of rainy weather. There are just too many unexplained details with that explanation.
