Survey in my class

They do not. Why would they? Giant Noah flood tsunamis are as far removed from gradual sea level rise and fall as one could get, and they predict very different outcomes. The broader outline of geological history has been understood for generations, but a great deal of detail has been resolved since, so that ancient river courses and estuaries can be mapped, volcanic correlations be established, and much more. What we find in sequence stratigraphy is shoreline movement reflecting gradual global sea level change.

If you are interested, here is a basic YouTube

and the Society for Sedimentary Geology has a decent sequence stratigraphy introduction

Precisely the opposite. The forest and trees all line up as evidence for an ancient earth. That is what is called consilience, and is a feature of science. The YEC strategy is to isolate and attempt to excuse away evidence, and just ignore how all the independent observations both stand alone and converge together. Did you follow the thread on the consilience of carbon dating? Forests and trees, literally, as including tree rings.

That seems to be reciprocated. The difference is that oil exploration requires being correct in order to be successful, while just believing something makes no demands at all.

These survived the demise of geocentric model backed by the church on Biblical grounds; an ancient earth should pose no greater difficulty.
