It really just becomes too much to handle on a 6,000 year old view.
I mean, consider my example above where you have 5 million varves.
let's say there was some kind of a global flood that produced all of these layers within a single year.
of course nobody really knows how a single flood could produce such repeating sequences of layers. Because these layers are not in totality sorted by density, which is how water would sort something like this. So they haven't been sorted purely by water. A giant flood just couldn't account for this.
But even if we decided to forget about physics and consider that maybe a flood could do it, then we would have this weird predicament where we would have something like varves forming at a rate of 5,000,000 varves / 365 days = 13,698 verse per day for 365 straight days.
Well that doesn't make any sense. That's 570 varves per hour. And they're sorted in a repeating sequence, dense, light, dense, light, dense, light etc. 570 times in a single day.
To suggest that a flood did this just doesn't add up.
We could try doing more math on this. Let's say we assume that 5,000,000 varves formed in 5,000 years.
That's 1,000 varves, every year, for 5,000 straight years.
Nobody really knows of any process that would produce such a quantity every single year for 5,000 straight years.
And by the time you incorporate all the other fine details such as having animal tracks and feeding traces between layers, suggesting that they weren't rapidly laid down, but rather were roaming around and casually grazing, and by the time you consider the lacustrine shape and features related to oxidative conditions, and consider that this formation only makes up the very most surfacial layer and doesn't account for the other 99% of the rest of earth history,
We get to a point where we struggle to really explain even the smallest bit of Earth history through a young Earth view, let alone all of earth history.
We cannot logically explain even a sliver of the geologic column through a young earth view, let alone the whole thing.
The theory of plate tectonics on the other hand does a phenomenal job at explaining what we see and is verified through countless lines of evidence and predictions. And plate tectonics are supported by general physics and chemistry as well.
Or here's another striaght forward one:
Giant burrows dug by mega sloths:

These massive tunnels were dug by mega sloths, preserved in the rock record. How fast could these layers truly have been deposited if there were animals digging through them?
And we find animal boroughs all throughout the geological column. Burrows that take time to dig.
Beats that take time to build.
Animal feeding traces and trackways, suggesting that prehistoric animals walked around and grazed.
How would dinosaurs walk around grazing if the ground they grazed on was in mid-deposition?
Dinosaurs are found roughly mid way through post Cambrian strata, which means they hypothetically would have been grazing literally right in the middle of this alleged global flood. The same flood claimed to push mountains into the atmosphere. And here, delicate nests with eggs reside.
Not horizontally, but rather vertically, right in the middle of these layers.
