The runoff and subsequent erosion of the mountaintop does not make it an area condusive to fossilization. If anything, the fossilization would take place where sediment gathers and the fossils would be burried along with material from the mountain.
I guess the "fossils on mountaintops" explanation sounds good to someone with no idea how fossilization occurs, but when you start to think about it, it makes no sense for such a thing to have occured during a global flood.

Also regarding the flood, if the flood was not global, dont you think that there should be more people around. Also, if the flood was not global, shouldn't the civilizations that have not been affected by such a flood be evident today, population wise, technologically, historically etc. the civilisations that kept on going without the flood interfering should be able to show that. |

Actually, that's another falsification of the global flood.
Most YEC organizations I've seen peg the flood around 4300-4500 B.C. That's right in the middle of the 6th Dynasty in Egypt. They should have been wiped out, but their chronological history continues with nary a hiccup.

That is not evident as such, pre flood civilisation was far more advanced than later on. |

So you are saying that the current accepted chronological histories of Egypt is wrong? Care to expand on that?

That's exactly what I was saying. It is a physical impossibility. Reread my post. |

Substantiate your claim or retract your bald assertion.
Furthermore, evolutionary biology isn't necessarily the same as technological evolution. |

Evolution has nothing to do with it. Historical data of human civilization is what we would be looking at. That is not evident as such, pre flood civilisation was far more advanced than later on.
Such as... ?

The device incorporated very sophisticated gears, even differential gears, a type not re-discovered until modern times as you know. | | |
