22. Parallel Strata
Earth’s sedimentary layers are typically parallel to adjacent
layers. Such uniform layers are seen, for example, in the
Grand Canyon and in road cuts in mountainous terrain.
Had these parallel layers been deposited slowly over
thousands of years, erosion would have cut many
channels in the topmost layers. Their later burial by
other sediments would produce nonparallel patterns.
Because parallel layers are the general rule, and Earth’s
surface erodes rapidly, one can conclude that almost all
sedimentary layers were deposited rapidly relative to
the local erosion rate—not over long periods of time.
(The mechanism involved is explained on pages 195–213.)

Where did the flood threads go?

1) Fossils of sea creatures on mountains are explained by shifts in the earth upwards as in extrusions due to plate tectonics.

2) The case for a global flood is thwarted because the elements pointed at as proof actually repeat in the geologic record, so either there must have been more than one global flood or the suppositions are faulty.

Your explanation is weak because the distribution of marine fossils is too even. And on top of that you have anomalies like the nautiloids in the Grand Canyon and polystrate fossils with marine fossils in the Joggins formation.

2) The case for a global flood is thwarted because the elements pointed at as proof actually repeat in the geologic record, so either there must have been more than one global flood or the suppositions are faulty.

What elements are you talking about?

Plate tectonics is and always was baloney. It is unscientific (actually anti-scientific).
Sea floor spreading does not happen.
Mantle convection does not happen.
etc. etc. etc.

From In The Beginning:
The Data Finally Released. One U.S. Navy scientist,
N. Christian Smoot, an evolutionist, spent 32 years precisely
mapping the ocean floor. His book, Tectonic Globaloney:
Closing Arguments (Author House Press, 2012), describes
discoveries on the ocean floor that falsify plate tectonics.
Smoot, a veteran of 67 cruises, was responsible for declassifying
some of this data for use outside the U.S. Navy. He says he
“devoutly believed” the plate tectonic theory, but now knows
it is “baloney” or “tectonic globaloney.” Based on features he
sees on the ocean floor, Smoot concludes that subduction
does not occur, and the seafloor is not spreading.
Below are his words from the back cover of his book:
Forty-five years after the synthesis of the plate
tectonic hypothesis, much newer and better
information has been gathered by the seagoers of
the world [and by satellites]. Contrary to popular
opinion among earth scientists, the purveyors of plate
tectonics are the present-day snake oil salesmen.
[Plate tectonics] is fraught with misinformation and
misconceptions. It is in need of a massive make-over.
Midocean ridge spreading does not occur universally,
especially in Iceland and the North Pacific basin. Deep
earthquakes do not define a descending slab; in fact,
do not even occur in most places along the trenches.
Therefore, subduction does not occur. Continental
drift is a figment of overly active imaginations.
Fracture zones [distorted in National Geographic
maps in a way that supports PT], rather than showing
the direction of seafloor spreading, leave nothing more
than a pattern of at least four different directions on
the ocean floor as they intersect in a random fashion.
Plate tectonics does not work.

2) The case for a global flood is thwarted because the elements pointed at as proof actually repeat in the geologic record, so either there must have been more than one global flood or the suppositions are faulty.

There is no "geologic record" in the sense that you believe in. You need to be less vague.
