Nothing to do with tectonics.

The water, no. The lowering of the continents and rising of the
sea floors to make the water overflow the mountains, yes. :-)

All in 6000 years or less! The speed of such moving continents would
have given their inhabitants whiplash.



, there would surely be lots of volcanism as well.

No mention of that in the bible.

(Genesis 7:11)
  In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month,
  the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains
  of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven
  were opened.

So, 6000 - 600 = 5400 years. How long after the formation of the earth
by god was it that Noah was born? Lets give it 2000 years and that
reduces the time since Noah to 3400 years. That brings me back to
whiplash (twice - once for the accelaration and once for the
deccelaration).


The phrase "all the fountains of the great deep were broken up"
sounds like something under the oceans was breaking up.

Sounds like another fairy tale to me.


The intense heat from volcanism and compression, and
the pressure from the water, could form enormous coal and oil deposits
very quickly.

It takes longer than 6000 years to form oil and coal.

They used to think the same thing about diamonds. Now they can
produce perfect diamonds quickly. Same with crude oil.

I'm talking about natural processes. If you deny these and subscribe
to the ludicrous notion of an almighty being then who cares how long
it takes.

In the
1990's the US DOE did a public demonstration where they placed
water and compost into a large drum, applied great heat and
pressure, and produced crude oil in about 40 minutes. They were
examining the feasibility and economics of producing crude oil
directly from plant material (compost) as an alternative fuel
source. I believe the problem was economics; it took too much
energy to be economical.

The blood and other liquids squeezed from the crushed
animal mass

Much of the biomass would have been rooted plant lifeforms. These
would not have been swept away but would have been fossilised in situ.
Where are they?

When hurricane Camille struck Mississippi and Lousiana in the 1960's,
there was a strip along the beach where *everything* was washed away,
including all vegetation, roadways, concrete foundations and underground
pipes for a mile or more inland. That was caused by ocean waves from a
big hurricane, which would be *nothing* compared to a 5 kilometer high
tsunami sweeping over the continent, followed by a flood of ocean water
thousands of feet deep, probably lasting for days, maybe weeks. That
would be sufficient to erode down to the bedrock, let alone remove all
vegetation. :-)

The beaches in Thailand were not swept away. Wrong again Judson.


could have collected and risen to the top to form salt domes.

There would have been so little salt in the animal biomass that there
would not have been enough to form even a small salt dome.

According to wikianswers.com: "A 50 Kilo human has about 7 tablespoons
of salt within him." At that rate, several billion tons of dinosaurs in
an enormous pile several miles across and hundreds, maybe thousands, of
feet deep, is a lot of salt. There would also be salt in the plants too,
but I don't know if it would be enough to completely explain the salt
domes. :-)

So now you believe that dinosaurs existed at the same time as humans?
Take it from me that it doesn't provide enough salt.
