For instance, even if you don't outright assume that God couldn't have flooded the earth to punish mankind, magically creating water out of nothing and magically destroying it afterwards, you can't still explain the order in the fossil record, the geographical distribution of living species and fossils, the geological evidence of plate tectonics, and so on.

In particular it's rather hard to explain sloths.
