You believe mountains arose out of the ocean, I believe the ocean raised over the mountains. Just let people believe differently than you without taking it personally.
The Himalayas do not comprise a single range but a series of at least three ranges running more or less parallel to one another.
Therefore, the Himalayas are supposed to have emerged out of the Himalayan Geosyncline, i.e. the Tethys Sea in three different phases following one after the other.
The first phase commenced about 50-40 million years ago when the Great Himalayas were formed. The formation of the Great Himalayas was completed about 30 million years ago.
The second phase took place about 25 to 30 million years ago when the Middle Himalayas were formed.
The Shiwaliks were formed in the last phase of the Himalayan orogeny — say about two million to twenty million years ago.
Some of the fossil formations found in the Shiwalik hills are also available in the Tibet plateau. It indicates that the past climate of the Tibet plateau was somewhat similar to the climate of the Shiwalik hills.

Seashells on top of everest is said to be proof of the flood. But these creatures live in, on or near the ocean floors. Even if the ocean level rises to the height of everest, they are not going to leave their habitat.

Yeah, but then you have the problem of the flood not lasting long enough for them to grow to the sizes of the fossils.
So grown shellfish were not going to go and the eggs of something like clams, would have needed 3 to 4 years to grow to a couple of inches.

Fair enough.
Are you okay with this statement interjected when you try to convince others of your theory?

Ahh that reminds me of the fact-checking algorithm that was ensuring the covid despotism could perpetuate.

Childish mockery doesn't change the truth .. the 'Noahs Flood' has been debunked and so has the premise of this thread.
