Your picture shows mud layers laid rapidly and in a plastic state were pushed up and bent. If you think in terms of long periods of time for each layer, then no bending could occur. It is easier to see that massive continuous flooding would lay down layer by layer. The fossil record is a record of sudden death not of a slow evolution. A young earth and a global flood explains the sedimentary and fossil record.
Those layers were deposited, lithified and then pushed up by continental collision. They did not have to be in a ‘plastic’ state prior to the folding - they were compressed and heated by the collision. And then eroded, and a sandstone deposited on top of the unconformity. No way a single geological event such as a flood can do all of that.
Really. In the Cambrian, there are only very primitive fish. No amphibians. No reptiles. No birds. And no mammals. No land plants, either. Those all appear at staggered intervals in the geologic fossil record later than the Cambrian.
