No, as there are many parts of the world which do not have a sedimentary rock overlay. These are often the oldest rocks, and a typical example is the Canadian Shield.
It only covers the majority of Canada, so obviously there was not a worldwide flood.
There was sediment on top of the Canadian Shield after the flood, but it has since eroded away. --Eusebius

The reason some places don't have sedimentary rock is as the continent was rising the flood waters washed all the sediment from that area and deposited it in other areas, not to mention the glaciers carried a lot of it to the south of you.
people lived by water back then. Areas that contain waters flood all the time. Everybody that lives near water has a flood story. Look at the Mississippi in the '90's. Can you image that flood happening 8000 years ago being a group of 100,000 people living next to that river? Buy the time the grandchildren got the story the whole world flooded. One person probably even predicted it and got his boat ready. Just like Isaac in the city of Galveston.
Let me ask you again eub. Why does the whole world have to flood for that story to be useful in teaching us to be ready? what, is it like? my god has a bigger flood?
Then there are those ubiquitous sedimentary rocks which were deposited through aeolian processes. It's going to be tough to explain these being deposited while a flood is occurring. And by tough, I am being extremely generous. IOW, they would not exist.
Next they will actually be telling us the mesas out in the western U.S. and the Grand Canyon were formed via the aeolian process.
I can't answer for you. My limit of understanding on how things around us interact to form what we perceive to be real stops when filling emotional gaps. I don't understand why people choose to ignore facts for any reason. From "not relevant to me" on through to the need for an Omni-dude holding your hand. I wouldn't be shocked if you are an atheist just trying to push absurdity to get your way.
so please answer me "why does the flood have to be literal." for you.
It's more than sad. Especially when people are indoctrinated with the delusional belief bubble since childhood.
I agree. I have family members whose lives have been horrifically affected by their parent's fundamentalist biblical idiocy.
