Yep. The step-by-step flooding of ecosystems (resulting in groups of similar fossils), varying degrees of mobility (fast moving animals escape the rising flood waters), and water sorting (segregation of fossils via gravity) all have a part in the geologic record. Too bad neither you nor I were there to witness it, but at least a human was around to take notes (more than I can say for the "millions of years" folks).
Wait. No. We're lucky we get to see any evidence at all. Thanks to righteous Noah we get to take a look around this fantastic creation of God for a little while and enjoy His gifts.
Did you get even a hint about how much water we are talking about here from your chat with Junior?
How much water is currently on the planet, give or take a few billion gallons? Why should I have any reason to believe there is less water on the planet today than there always has been? I reckon God could have fabricated more water for the occasion, but I don't think proper study would reveal it. Do you know how much water there is and where it all resides? Does science?
I'll repeat the frequently unanswered question: how did water, in a few years, at best, create a metamorphic rock the size of a state, filled with fossils in and with monolitically graduated strata and cut the Grand Canyon out of the middle of it?
