Do you know what this makes me think? That carbon dating is a bunch of BS.

Effects on the earth
With the deluge great changes came, for example, the life span of humans dropped very rapidly. Some have suggested that prior to the Flood, the waters above the expanse shielded out some of harmful radiation and that with the waters gone, cosmic radiation genetically harmful to man increased. However, the bible is silent on the matter. Incedentally, any change in radiation would have altered the rate of formation of radioactive carbon-14 to such an extent as to invalidate all radiocarbon dates prior to the Flood.
With the sudden opening of the ' springs of the watery deep ' and " the floodgates of the heavens, " untold billions of tons of water deluged the earth. ( Genesis 7:11 ) This may have caused tremendous changes in earth's surface. The earth's crust is relatively thin ( estimated at between 20 miles and 100 miles thick, stretched overa rather plastic mass thousands of miles in diameter. Hence under the added weight of the water, there was likely a great shifting in the crust. In time, new mountains evidently were thrust upward, old mountains rose to new heights, shallow sea basins were deepened, and new shore line were established, with the result that now about 70 percent of the surface is covered with water. This shifting in the earth's crust may account for many geolic phenomena, such as the raising of old coastlines to new heights. It has been estimated by some that water pressures alone were equal to " 2 tons per square inch, " sufficient to fossilize fauna and flora quickly.

What evidence proves that there truly was a global deluge?
Other possible evidence of a drastic change: Remains of mammoths and rhinoceroses have been found in different parts of the earth. Some of these were found in Siberian cliffs; others were preserved in Siberean and Alaskan ice.( Picture Volume 1, p 328 ) In fact, some were found with food undigested in thier stomachs or still unchewed in their teeth, indicating that they died suddenly. It is estimated, from the trade in ivory tusks, that bones of tens of thousands of such mammoths have been found. The fossil remains of many other animals, such as lions, tigers, bears and elk have been found in common strata, which may indicate that all of these were destroyed simultaneously. Some have pointed to such finds as definite physical proof of a rapid change in climate and sudden destruction caused by a universal flood. Otheres, however, favor explanations for the death of these animals that do not involve an earth wide catastrophe. Proof that the flood occured is not dependent on such fossils and frozen animal remains.
