There are so many things wrong with the global flood idea one hardly knows
where to start. But the simple fact that if the global flood is true, modern
animals had to live in the preflood world and some of them should have been
fossilized. But we find NO modern animals as fossils prior to the uppermost
Miocene, which barely scratches the geologic column (i.e. the uppermost 1%
of the column.) Below that level all animal life was different.
