I believe in a Young Earth Creation and have friends who are scientists. One question has come to mind though about the flood.

There's a lot of evidence of the global flood through fossils through difference varve layers and rhythmites, and a lot of fossils for animals that died in the flood, some mid birth, some mid meal (examples include a fish eating another fish and an animal mid birth when trapped by the silt/mud).

What I'm wondering is if there have been found any fossilized human remains from the flood?

The closest I've seen are fossilized footprints alongside a dinosaur. Thing is those "man" footprints look odd. The best explanation about our world I've heard is from Dr. John Lennox. His ideas are rather profound.

Problem is, he destroys the concept of original sin.
He takes the disobedience of Adam and denies it....telling us that people began to sin at 8:10...they sinned when they couldn't trust God. He re-wrote the fall. Changed it.

What is original sin? And what words does he use to destroy the concept of original sin?

All fossil remains are quite rare. The encapsulating material must solidify around the biological matter and harden in shape and place. Then over time the interior is replaced with a second flow of material which must also harden.

So all fossils are from a quick and fast event. The evidence that
they are all from one such event is not well supported. It looks more
like multiple on-going events spread over time with earlier events
found lower and recent events found on top.

That's generally how we find seminary layers anyway.

There are fossils from floods. There is no fossil evidence of The Flood.

I believe many people were predicted in the bible when they deliberately say the earth wasn't flooded.

Some parts of scripture are local historical reference.
Not every sentence is meant to be a universal declaration of Truth.
For example:

Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

So is God telling us to kill all people who commit
violent acts, then bury them in sand?

I don't feel that is correct, even though Moses did it.

I fail to see your point.

But not all from the same flood.

There is not much to support a one-flood-did-all-this theory.
Given the special properties of water in scripture (coming from
stone, being walked on, being calmed) there is a possibility
that the great flood did nothing other than painlessly took lives.

But then we're involved in speculation of supernatural intervention, at which point, we're no longer having a scientific discussion.

OK. I was referring to 2nd Peter 3:5

I believe "The world of that time" only refers to
the people who existed at that time.

Another belief is that the earth was dissolved by the
flood and remade beneath the waters.

I feel it was more local and the story re-told by those
on the Ark.
