"But the Flood is used to explain how all those depositional formations formed such as the Catskill Delta. If the mountains and their subsequent depositional formations are pre-Flood, then the Flood can't explain those. You can't have it both ways."

Agreed, both can't be right. That doesn't mean both are wrong.

Congratulations. That is the most novel young earth theory I've seen to date.

Thank you, but after rereading it, I may not have been clear. If the earth is young, then the earliest mountains, pre-Flood mountains, may have eroded faster since the soil may not have hardened into rock.

I think it's consistent with a YEC even if it's novel.

"That is the logic that liberals use in politics."

Argument by name calling.

"There are many possible geological events that we have never witnessed

Thank You.

No Flood and no young earth model can begin to explain even that fundamental aspect of geology

And then the never witnessed geologcal events are summarily dismissed.

Still trying to have it both ways, eh?

Strike 2. Soil is a result of erosion and is a thin layer. Mountains by definition don't consist of very much soil because of their erosional gradient. The fact that you are preposing such theories shows you really don't know much about geological processes.

I think it's consistent with a YEC even if it's novel.

I would hope that accuracy would be more important than novelty or consistency with your theory.

Argument by name calling.

Mine was an accurate observation - liberals often use the same "logic" in their debates against facts they find inconvenient as you were using there. Which brings us to another favored liberal tactic - declaring that an accurate observation is somehow name calling.

And then the never witnessed geologcal events are summarily dismissed.

Oh, the never witnessed events are the kinds of things that would kill millions if not billions of people. There are ample records of them in the geological column. Supervolcano eruptions (the last one, tens of thousands of years ago, is estimated to have killed all but a few thousand of the humans on the planet at the time). Flood basalts. Catastrophic meteor impacts. Hillary Clinton as president.

Things I'd rather not ever witness. But we can still make reasonable predictions as to what they would entail.
