Some answers. See varves, for one.

ROTFL! That has got to be the lamest bunch of creationist hand-waving I've ever read. Thanks, Nick for the daily humor selection.
Here's a couple of howlers:
Much is often made of the Green River varves, in Wyoming, USA. But these bands cannot possibly be annual deposits because well-preserved fish and birds are found all through the sediments.
Apparently the author never heard that the deep waters of many lakes are anoxic, which inhibits decay.
Another argument used against the Bible time-line is that the pre-Flood world could not have produced enough vegetation to make all the coal...The pre-Flood land area was almost certainly greater before all the Floodwaters were released onto the surface of the earth
Apparently the author is not familiar with basic math. Even if there were no oceans, the total land area would only be four times what it is today.
Metamorphic reactions happen quickly when there is plenty of water, just as the Flood would provide.
This is a real doozy! Rock metamorphosis requires intense heat and pressure. Water has nothing to do with it.
Enough. My side hurts from laughing.
