Did-u-know limestone adds proof that a world wide flood occurred sometime in the past?

 10-15% of the world's sedimentary rock is limestone. Limestone, sometimes called calcium carbonate, contains more calcium and carbon than is in today's oceans, atmosphere, coal, and living matter all combined. Modern evolutionary thought is that almost all of the limestone in the world was formed by shelled animals extracting small amounts of calcium carbonate from shallow seas. However the oceans would have been toxic to marine life if most of the limestone had formed in this manner. Microscopic observation of the limestone reveals that the majority of limestone was not formed by the shells of animals but by a chemical process.

 Here is a better scientific explanation for the vast amount of limestone on the earth. The fluctuation of pressure that occurred when the “fountains of the deep” broke open during the flood could have caused a chemical process to transfer the limestone from underneath the crust of the earth to the surface. This limestone is further evidence that the Biblical account of Noah's flood is accurate?
