I'm sure that the so-called creation 'scientists' have mathematical evidence about the erosion rates of mountains. Just like they have evidence that the
amount of moon dust would be many feet deep on an old moon, or that
the speed of light is slowing down, or that
salt concentrations in the ocean prove a young earth. Now, if all mountains were created at the same time (in the aftermath of the flood), wouldn't they all have, more or less, the same erosion rates? Obviously, there would be differences in climate conditions (wind and rain) and hardness of the rock. But the major differences between old ranges like the Appalachians or the Pre-cambrian Shield versus newer mountains like the Himalayas or the Rockies? That becomes harder to explain.
I'm also curious how a flood would cause the extinction of trilobites, seeing as they lived in water.
