   No. You assert that rates of decay were somehow altered by the flood or   
   different before the flood than afterward. You assert that a huge layer   
   of water could exist in the atmosphere -- which would in today's world   
   make life unlivable simply with the atmospheric pressure! -- yet life   
   somehow thrived under it. You assert that it never rained before the   
   Flood (an unwarranted extension of Scripture, I might note). So somehow   
   the hydrologic cycle obeyed vastly different laws. You assert that the   
   speed of light is slowing down (or at least has been).   
      
   With all of the objections you have tried to put into place against   
   uniformitarianism, you wind up assuming a world with very different laws   
   of physics. You can't get away from it. If the laws were the same then   
   as they are now, you will have the same processes. You can't make a   
   difference without different laws.   
      
   The only reason you think I'm lying is that you are uneducated in   
   science and have no resources to think through the ultimate meaning of   
   your assertions. That could be remedied, if you cared enough to actually   
   study the subject. You could start at your local community college.   
      
   Regards,
