As I hope you're aware, carbon dating is not the only means for determining the age of an object. (Moreover, for many types of object it's not even the right technique.) There are at least a dozen different radiometric dating methods, out there, and there are many more techniques for determining the age of specific structures, Dendrochronology (tree rings) and lake varves are just a few.

All of the methods that I've mentioned have been used to give dates that are much older than 6000 years. You can claim that these methods are invalid due to "the Flood," but you're left with a big problem: The curves agree.

Below is a graph from a paper called Radiocarbon calibration curve spanning 0 to 50,000 years BP based
on paired 230Th/ 234U/ 238U and 14C dates on pristine corals

In the paper, the dates obtained from several different dating methods are compared, including tree rings, lake sedimentation layers, Carbon-14, and U/Th. And, what do you know, different dating methods, carried out by different individuals, all agree pretty closely. Does this constitute evidence for uniformitarianism? If not, then why do the calibration curves agree?

Unless you add to your magic box of "the flood" that the earth only gained its tilt after the flood.

Obviously.
