# The existence of inland saltwater lakes, such as [[Mono Lake]] and the [[Great Salt Lake]], suggest a recent global [[flood]].

# The plentiful supply of high concentrations of underground well water, which would be expected based on familiar principles of [[entropy]] to dissipate over a long period of time.

- Entropy does not work this way! Entropy deals with the exchange of heat between bodies, which can be a measure of randomness as the hotter something is the more chaotic the movement of the particles of the system.
# The relative purity of underground well water, which should be a muddy slurry had millions of years of erosion taken place.

# Earthquakes alter the Earth's rotation every century; extrapolating by orders of magnitude in time would have resulted in the occurrence of much larger earthquakes that would have destabilized the rotation<ref>A similar analysis may be performed for the likelihood of devastating collisions with meteors as time is extrapolated by orders of magnitude.</ref>
