You should have read an earlier article with an estimate of the amount
of water required to flood the entire earth.  The point was that coming
from above in a period of 40 days, this would have destroyed the ark!
Coming from below (remember the fountains of the deep?) it would certainly
disturb more than a few feet of ground cover!  I am claiming that much
of the sediment you see actually came from the flood.  I can't be
dogmatic about this, I just find the whole business of calibrating
the various dating methods with each other highly circular.
