If flowering plants survived the Flood by floating, then necessarily all flowering plants (except those used for fodder on the Ark) today would be capable of floating for months on end, and remain viable. Why then are there plant species found exclusively on islands and nowhere else in the world? All flowering plants should be cosmopolitan if TC's explanation for their survival of the Flood is correct.

I don't understand the relevance. Please reiterate.

In that case, you agree that few extant plants would survive the Flood by floating?

You mean large scale rapid deposition of course, we still have landslides, lahars, and Pompeii.

My turn to be pedantical.
