A global flood would change the earth in every way. Pushing down the thin crust in areas and laying down sediments as well as the atmosphere clearing.

And some people wonder how conservatives have a reputation for being ignorant.
Having lived in rural western IL all of my 59 years, I’ve seen what just a 6 inch downpour can do to the surface, moving tons of soil downhill, eventually to the ‘ol muddy Mississippi.
Twelve years of OTR truck driving has let me see the same results around the country. Twice, while vacationing, I’ve marveled at the sight of all those boulders washed down the mountainside from the 1982 Lawn Lake Dam failure near Estes Park.
And these days, the extreme example of the power of water, is the precision cutting of steel with waterjets.
I believe the Flood really happened.

None of this takes into account that the heavier elements on earth and the solar system would have taken two or three earlier generations of stars to produce. And it would have taken them a heck of long time to burn.
Any better theory?
Water running, freezing and thawing, wind blowing, volcanism and movements of the Earth’s crust. All set in motion by God.
