More geological reasons Noah's Flood did not happen

Young-earth creationists believe that there was a worldwide flood covering the earth and that virtually all fossil-bearing sedimentary layers, up until the most recent, were deposited by that Flood in about one year (Genesis 7:11–24 to 8:1–13; Whitcomb and Morris 1961; Morris and Parker 1987). Although the time for deposition by a one-year flood of the nearly 3.75 kilometers of sedimentary rocks on top of the Precambrian strata (Figure 1) to the present seems impossibly short, Oard (2002) argues for Flood Geology nonetheless. His conclusions rest on the notion that the modern evidence cannot be used as a key to the past, as the uniformitarian principle is typically applied (Oard 2002).
