ÜIf the geologic record is largely that of a one-year
flood, then the sediments should have
settled into the lowest places –
sea bottoms.
ÜBut there is too much sediment on land, not enough in the oceans, to fit this scheme.
ÜThis fits an old earth, in which sediments washed into the oceans are recycled by continental drift dragging them down into the mantle.
