A man names Henry Morris, a creation scientist, said that if you deny 6-day recent creation, you will also have to deny the worldwide flood in Noah’s day. The Atheistic Origin “Scientists” with there no God assumption will just not allow God, period. See the topic “Don’t be conned with the no God Assumption of Atheistic Origin Science”.
Almost all the sedimentary layers with their fossils are the result of the worldwide flood during the time of Noah, which occurred about 4500 years ago. A real scientific study of those layers proves it. There are many other scientific proofs of recent creation.
Yes, the flood is from Mesopotamian myths, as is most of Genesis. This is the consensus opinion in scholarhip.
But modern geology has also ruled out a world flood. The sedimentary layers are not from a world flood.
Modern geology and flood geology
Modern geology, its sub-disciplines and other scientific disciplines use the
scientific method to analyze the geology of the earth. The key tenets of flood geology are refuted by scientific analysis and do not have any standing in the
scientific community.
[5][6][7][8][9] Modern geology relies on a number of established principles, one of the most important of which is
Charles Lyell's principle of
uniformitarianism. In relation to geological forces it states that the shaping of the Earth has occurred by means of mostly slow-acting forces that can be seen in operation today. By applying these principles, geologists have determined that the Earth is approximately
4.54 billion years old. They study the
lithosphere of the Earth to gain information on the history of the planet. Geologists divide
Earth's history into
eons,
eras,
periods,
epochs, and
faunal stages characterized by well-defined breaks in the
fossil record (see
Geologic time scale).
[111][112] In general, there is a lack of any evidence for any of the above effects proposed by flood geologists and their claims of fossil layering are not taken seriously by scientists.

Sedimentary rock features[
edit]
Phil Senter's 2011 article, "The Defeat of Flood Geology by Flood Geology", in the journal
Reports of the National Center for Science Education, discusses "sedimentologic and other geologic features that Flood geologists have identified as evidence that particular strata cannot have been deposited during a time when the entire planet was under water ... and distribution of strata that predate the existence of the Ararat mountain chain." These include continental basalts, terrestrial tracks of animals, and marine communities preserving multiple in-situ generations included in the rocks of most or all Phanerozoic periods, and the basalt even in the younger Precambrian rocks. Others, occurring in rocks of several geologic periods, include lake deposits and eolian (wind) deposits. Using their own words, Flood geologists find evidence in every Paleozoic and Mesozoic period, and in every epoch of the Cenozoic period, indicating that a global flood could not have occurred during that interval.
[118] A single flood could also not account for such features as
angular unconformities, in which lower rock layers are tilted while higher rock layers were laid down horizontally on top.
[119]
GeochemistryProponents of Flood Geology are also unable to account for the alternation between
calcite seas and
aragonite seas through the Phanerozoic. The cyclical pattern of
carbonate hardgrounds, calcitic and aragonitic ooids, and calcite-shelled fauna has apparently been controlled by
seafloor spreading rates and the flushing of seawater through
hydrothermal vents which changes its Mg/Ca ratio.
[117]
Erosion
The global flood cannot explain geological formations such as
angular unconformities, where
sedimentary rocks have been tilted and eroded then more sedimentary layers deposited on top, needing long periods of time for these processes. There is also the time needed for the erosion of valleys in sedimentary rock mountains. In another example, the flood, had it occurred, should also have produced large-scale effects spread throughout the entire world. Erosion should be evenly distributed, yet the levels of erosion in, for example, the
Appalachians and the
Rocky Mountains differ significantly
Geochronology
Geochronology is the science of determining the
absolute age of rocks, fossils, and sediments by a variety of techniques. These methods indicate that the Earth as a whole is about 4.54 billion years old, and that the strata that, according to flood geology, were laid down during the Flood some 6,000 years ago, were actually deposited gradually over many millions of years.

I see a lot of science and math on this page. If people use math and science to proof that there must be a god, do they also use math and science to decide who this god is? Thank you.
