Just how does science confirm The Flood?

We continue to find fossils of sea life on mountain ranges.

The science we think is absolute on these issues continues to change.

And why should God limit himself to six days of creation instead of the immense span of time that science says was necessary?

For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11

(1) The fossils of sea creatures found on mountain ranges and elsewhere on land are reliably dated via numerous methods and have many different dates of deposition that span millions, even billions of years. Commonly, those sea fossils found on mountains are there because the mountains were raised up from the ocean floor, not because of deposition by a flood, let alone by Noah's Flood.

(2) The Bible, including Genesis, is not a science text. The six days of creation are figurative, not literal. The point of Genesis is to explain the universe and man as God's Creation, not to provide a scientific account. That being so, modern science provides a different explanation of how the universe came into existence.

For reasons that I explained earlier, modern science points toward the universe as created to sustain life and as existing in conjunction with a realm of consciousness. The bottom line is that, properly understood, modern science supports the existence of God but on its own terms, not in a Biblical idiom.
