1. Teh flood was global.
2Teh bible says so.
3. geological research and evidence proves it so.
4. Teh topology of the earth is much different today than in Noahs day.
5. the face of the earth was mostly land and not oceans as we have today.Mountains were much lower then
6. Under earth shows the evidence of once holding vast oceans of water.
7. There was enormous tectonic activity during and after the flood. Massive land masses slumnped due to the underground water being pushed out, creating the areas the waters would flow to- our current oceans.
8. Mountains rose for god pushed them up so the waters would not cover the land again.
There is an excellent book by Dr. Norriss "The Genesis Flood" He is a doctor of geology and the book gives enormous physical and biblical evidence for the global flood.

Shelton said, Mother what do thing Noah feed all those lions and tigers on the ark for so long?
His mother said, The floating dead bodies of sinners.
We can debate how Noah gathered all the animals of the world and the capacity of the ark to hold all those animals and how did they feed them.....?
We can debate the details of the flood and it extent but.......Science has proven that antient floods occurred and have found seashells on top of mountains and whale bones in the deserts......Also....
Flood stories appear in many ancient cultures, including Mesopotamian, biblical, Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Mesoamerican, and Aboriginal Australian traditions, often featuring a righteous survivor warned in advance who builds a boat or ark to survive the deluge (Epic of Gilgamesh, Noah, Deucalion, Manu)
Anthropologists have documented over 200 independent flood stories worldwide, with striking similarities in
narrative elements such as boats, divine warnings, saving animals and the moral implications and survivors landing on mountains
These stories suggest that early humans experienced catastrophic floods that left a lasting cultural memory.
So there is something true about the flood story in the Genesis. The stories in Genesis are very old and probably came forward as oral traditions. They are vague and lack detail and generate a lot of questions...like....Why are there two creation stories? Where there two popular stories and when it came down to writing them down they decided to keep them both?
The Cosmology of the scriptures are not accurate. Scriptures reference the earth being flat, most of know the world is not flat. The scriptures were written from an antient perspective....Could it be any other way? Could God of explained the correct Cosmology, Quantum science, Nuclear fission to these antient people. What would they have done with a nuclear bomb. It all happened they way it should have.
The thing is, science and religion don't have to be adversaries. As time goes on science proves a lot of what is in the scriptures are true....the people, the places, and the events. It is best to take these biblical stories at face value and still know there is more to the story.
