The literal truth is not important to the story and I believe that when you go back in time so far, evidence becomes scant and theories that can never be proven abound. I'm afraid there are details about early man, we will never know for sure. We just need to accept that.
So you admit that the evidence for the veracity of Bible form extra biblical sources is scant?

Your argument attempts to pin down the dates of the flood unfairly, to a relatively recent date, using the calculations of unnamed "scientists" who have no authority to assign such dating. Then you go on to demonstrate evidence that it didn't happen in that time frame, so it must not have happened.
This is very rich from the person who said:
.... I think most scientists place the flood at at least 8000 years ago and there is evidence of such an event in sediment from around the globe which all contains volcanic ash from around the same time period.
I am pointing out that the evidence in the story itself would indicate a much earlier time frame, and thus your evidence against the flood is quite flawed.
You appear to be contradicting yourself.

A lighter gravity could account for the size and agility of the dinosaurs and the pterodactyl which would not be capable of flight today, yet obviously was a flying creature.
Aside from being grossly off topic, what on earth makes you think a pterosaur could not fly today?
