We must remember that, according to creationists, the deluge, in one year's time, deposited nearly all of the sedimentary rocks present in the world today. To get some idea of how muddy this would be, we should note that creationist flood theorists maintain that the original ocean basins were greatly enlarged to their present depths to receive the retreating flood waters (Whitcomb, 1973, pp. 35, 38); therefore, the quantity of water in the oceans is basically equivalent to that of the flood. This volume is 1,350x 106 cubic kilometers. The volume of Phanerozoic sedimentary rock ("flood deposits") is 654 x 106 cubic kilometers (Blatt, Middleton, and Murray, p. 34). The ratio of water to rock is thus 2.06:1. Try mixing two parts water to one part sand; double or even triple the amount of the water, and then stick your pet goldfish into the muck and see how long it lives!
No that's not true, research regarding hurricane and ocean pH show that the salinity change only occurs towards the surface, and the deeper regions maintain their saltiness since it is denser

In what layer of Earth do we find all the bones of the dead , Seems to me if everything on Earth was killed at the same time we would have a layer of death 100's of feet there would be a layer in the crust surrounding the globe "A Flood layer"

If the global flood were true, Fossils would be found all throughout these lithified mudrock layers (sedimentary stone). And they are. Fossils are continually found all through sedimentary rock.

No Human bones are not found in abundance in one specific layer .

I ship fish everyday This is what happens when Climate changes be it Temp - Salinity -PH- anything that changes environmental conditions Is death coming to reap .
Graphic photo ------- I have many many more

Yeah some fish will die, but not all of them.

There are a very small amount of fresh water fish or brackish fish that can take a small amount of salinity but not the sudden changes a world wide flood would cause.

There are submarine springs in the ocean known today where salinity can reach as low as 5ppt, which is manageable for mostly all freshwater fish.

"The maximum spring flow was estimated at about 3.0×106 m3/day after heavy precipitation in February–March 2008. As a result of this storm (total of 173 mm) the salinity in the spring area dropped from about 27 (ppt) to 2 (ppt) in only two days. "

This study confirms a few of my points. A mixture of rainwater and submarine springs would create microcosms for freshwater fish during the flood. a ppt of 2 is habitable for even some of the most salt-vulnerable freshwater fish.

Just stop man ...... I've scuba dived all over the World collect fish all over the World , Sure some freak places weird stuff happens but thats like a needle in a hay stack kind of like the water swirling in different directions at the equator that rare ........ I can't even reply anymore are you being closed minded just to keep the thread going or do you really believe a boat with Giraffes necks sticking out singing a song .....

So the freshwater fish are meant to suddenly swim through saltwater which causes deadly osmosis causing their fluids to leech out to hang around a spring thats now lower than 5.5 miles? So if the salinity, carbon or total dissolved solids doesn't kill, the pressure will...

Face it, this is an empirical solution for how the freshwater fish would have survived the flood.
Yeah and you believe your ancestors were mutated ape-like things. Seems as though everyone has their mythos.
Fact it, this is an empirical solution for how the freshwater fish would have survived the flood.
the surface would have provided a freshwater haven for them
fish have mechanisms that can find their way through varying salinity

No it isn't you have not given any thought to how they would survive the trip to those springs.

But even without that, the surface would have provided a freshwater haven for them as well due to the continual rainfall until they found an underwater spring as the waters subsided. Again, fish have mechanisms that can find their way through varying salinity

Yes I did. The top of the rising waters would be freshwater, and allow avenues for the freshwater fish to travel as they needed as the waters rised. There's also plenty of freshwater springs above sea level gushing water at very high rates:
Big Spring (Missouri): This behemoth holds the current title for the largest spring in the United States (and potentially North America) based on discharge rate. It pumps out an impressive 240 cubic feet per second (6.8 cubic meters per second) on average, even during dry periods. Its location in the Missouri Ozarks places its elevation at around 800 feet (244 meters) above sea level.
Huanglong Valley (China): This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts numerous travertine terraces formed by cascading hot springs. While individual spring discharge rates vary, the collective system is estimated to discharge around 8.6 cubic meters per second, with an elevation ranging from 3,000 to 5,500 meters (9,843 to 18,045 feet) above sea level, making it the highest-altitude major spring system in the world.
These springs would have allowed a haven for fish as the land flooded in these regions, before it even made contact with the ocean.
