What would you expect it to leave behind?
Not only the geological evidence of a flood but also the anthropological evidence. After all, multiple cultures were alive and leaving documentary evidence at the supposed time of the flood and none of them seem to have noticed that everybody died. There's a big pyramid in Egypt that was built before the supposed time of the flood and it doesn't have any water damage.

If the land mass was all in one place and was relativity flat
But we know that isn't the case. Mt. Everest was not a hillock 4500 years ago.
And there's still the problem of where did the water come from? There's only enough water in the atmosphere to cover the ground to an inch...which would then run off into the oceans and lakes and immediately leave dry land. There simply isn't enough water to cover the entire surface of the earth for days on end. How could there be? If there were, it would already be covered. Tidal sloshing might get you a few hours, but it isn't going to last.
And then you need to explain where it went because if there's enough to cover the earth, it has nowhere to go.
quote:
Then just over a hundred years later the earth was divided into the positions we observe today.
Releasing enough energy to literally melt the surface of the earth, boil off the oceans, and kill everything.
quote:
So just what do you think you would find that looked like a world wide flood?
Given what you've described? A barren wasteland with nothing alive on it.
If you want to say it was all magic, then just say it was all magic. Not enough water? God magicked it into existence. Where did it go? God magicked it away. Geography making it topologically impossible? God magicked everything. The moment you try to bring physics into it, you have to explain why there are no remnants of the physics.
But there's still the problem of the people. Cultures were thriving in Egypt, Asia, etc. and they show no interruption. You could try to push the flood back to pre-historic times, but that screws up the timeline with regard to human civilization. It'd be nice to see an explanation for that.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
