Creationists have no problem with evidence of uplift, but they often differ on what caused the uplift, and of course the timescales involved. Having said that, you still haven’t answered my questions.

The attempted points in the link were pointless because they ignored the role of uplift.

There are various causes for uplift.

Yellowstone has uplifted 7 inches over the last 30 months, due to magma upwelling.

The Himalayas is currently rising by about 5 mm per year, due to plate tectonics, namely the Indian plate hitting the main Asian plate, with mountains rising at the collision zone.

Plate movement is widely recorded, year to year, in a wide number of places by sensitive GPS measurements.
