(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.

True the Bible is not a science book. It never makes that claim. Yet on matters of science it is accurate.

As noted earlier, if God cannot create the world, and everything else, in six 24 hour days, then the rest of the miracles in the Bible, including the resurrection of Christ, have to be called into question.
