I find myself far less annoyed by your young earth creationism than by your complete and total inability or unwillingness to form an argument or participate in a discussion. Your posts usually consist of assertions without supporting evidence or consist of video links, which are often unrelated to the topic being discussed. And on the rare occasions that yo ...[text shortened]... after the supposed flood. You don't even seem to have a cursory knowledge of your own position.
You said that marine fossils on mountains were moved to the mountains from the ocean by slow movement of the land over millions of years. I say that it occurred fast because the earth has only existed for a few thousand years and I gave videos that supported the catastrophic view of the mountains rising quickly and the valleys sinking after the year of the worldwide flood just as the Holy Bible says.
The idea is that while the flood was over the earth and volcanic activity under the water occurred due to erruptions and marine animals were fossilized, part of the ocean floors sank deeper while some of the mountains became higher partly due to the initial strong speedy plate tectonics. The waters that covered the mountains were able to recede off the mountains into the lower valleys forming deeper oceans and new lakes and rivers over the earth. The marine animals that were in the water over the moutains became died and fossilized and remained on the mountains when the water receded into lower areas.
Laboratory experiments have shown that spontaneous sorting and layering occurs with a sand, mud and clay slurry. When the mixture slows down, the sand, mud and clay will spontaneously precipitate (or settle out) and form individual layers. The sorting out of fossil in the strata also occurred relatively quickly as the flood waters receded. This was proved by the erruption of Mount St. Helens in 1982 that carved out a little grand canyon in a day or two. The sorting of the fossils had nothing to do with age, but with the swirling of the water and the composition, weight, size, etc. of the dead animals that were being fossillized. Even though the Grand Canyon has been believed to have taken millions of years to form, it is now known that that is not true.
Here is a website for your reference concerning how the worldwide flood explains your concerns:
