I have done some googling:

?Fountains of the Deep? on Mars?*

Creationists have often noted a certain irony in the beliefs of many
geologists about Mars.

On a planet (Earth) which is largely covered in water, they deny that
there ever could have been a global flood. Yet the majority believe
that on Mars, a planet on which we have yet to detect any liquid
water, many of its surface features formed by massive, global (or
near-global) flooding!

Michael Carr of the US Geological Survey estimated that the amount of
water needed to carve the Martian flood channels was ?the equivalent
of a layer of water several tens of meters deep covering the entire
surface of the planet.?

A recent journal report states: ?This suggests that there may still
be a layer of water up to half a kilometer thick in the crust.?

_New Scientist_, 4 May 1996, pp. 39?42.

_Not surprisingly, the same people who accept the possibility of huge
underground water reservoirs on Mars, capable of flooding the whole
planet, generally scoff at the idea that this was once the case on
Earth._

(*Genesis 7:11.)

Now that is illogic!

Or how about:


One of the most amazing admissions of inconsistency in secular
science is this issue of a global flood on Mars. As incredible as it
may sound, there are secular scientists that actually propose that
there was a global flood on the red planet. Currently Mars is a dry,
arid world, comparable in many respects to the desert regions we have
on earth. Now let me get this straight. Scientists believe in a
global flood for Mars which is presently an arid desert, but do not
believe in a global flood for Earth whose surface is 75% covered with
water about two miles deep right now. I would submit that from
space, Earth appears like it is currently in a global flood. Can
you imagine what these same scientists would be saying about earth if
we were on Mars looking at Earth as an alien world? The scientific
establishment who has long been critical of a global flood on Earth
has finally exposed its bias. Their runaway imaginations about alien
worlds have come back to roost and expose their glaring inconsistency
and bias.

The site seems to be down at the moment so I got this first paragraph
from Google's cache.
