There's reason to believe that the entire makeup of the pre-flood system was substantially different from what we see now. Simplest way to view it is looking at the axis tilts of our present system:

Axial tilts of our system from Wikipedia...

Axial tilt of major celestial bodies

Object	Axial tilt (°)	Axial tilt (radians)
Mercury	~0.01	0.00
Venus	177.4	3.10
Earth	23.44	0.41
Moon	6.688	0.03
Mars	25.19	0.44
Ceres	~4	0.07
Pallas	~60	~1
Jupiter	3.13	0.06
Saturn	26.73	0.47
Uranus	97.77	1.71
Neptune	28.32	0.49
Pluto	119.61	2.09
Makemake
Haumea
Eris

The problem from the perspective of uniformitarian astronomers is obvious enough. If our system had formed up from a swirling disk of solar material as claimed, all axial tilts should be approximately the same.

What the data appears to be saying is that the sun somehow or other captured most of the other bodies and did not originate with them...

In fact, another way to interpret the data would be to claim that the sun, Jupiter, and Mercury with tilts less than ten might have been an original system; That Uranus and Pluto with their odd tilts were probably captured separately, but that the three bodies I have in red i.e. Earth, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune with their tilts of approximately 25 degrees constituted some sort of an elder system which the sun captured at some point.

I mean, if you were looking for a root cause for the catastrophes you read about in ancient literature, that would do for starters....
