If the global Flood, as described in Genesis 7–8, really occurred, what evidence would we expect to find?

We would expect to find fossils jumbled in random order.

Instead, we find fossils in the specific order of evolutionary descent.

Flood hypothesis disproven.

QED

Wrong.

Fossil sorting:

And what evolutionary descent would that be, now that the evidence has forced the Evos to (finally) hack down Darwin’s “tree of life”, and all those phylogenetic trees are being thrown into dissaray by the finding that over 93% (and growing) of the genome is functional?

What ignorant nonsense!

We would expect to find them in their natural habitat, as we do find them!

The fact that we find any fossils at all is absolute proof of the near simultaneous death of both predator, and prey, which is also powerful proof of the judgement.

As for evolution, the only thing on Earth that supports it is morons.

Don’t cloud their fairy tales with logic.

no, we dont find all fossils in complete order

there are many cases of fossils found in mixed and even an order reversed according to evolutionary theory

It's pretty remarkable that evolution managed to mimic the overall order of fossils that we would expect from a global flood. After all, if evolution had started with aerial life first and then worked its way down to deep ocean life and this was reflected in the fossil record, the global flood hypothesis would be clearly incompatible. Instead we see a general order to the fossils that matches the Flood order, from deep ocean life to shallow ocean life to the antediluvian floating forest ecosystem to continental margins life and up into the highlands.

Floods are energetic events, but so long as there is still a lot of energy present in the floodwaters the things carried in the water will not be deposited. Only as the energy levels diminish will things be deposited. Thus your notion that a flood would jumble things up is precisely wrong. In some cases this would occur (as when waves strike against a cliff) but in general an orderly pattern would develop as energy levels gradually diminished and sedimentary loads dropped out.
