There were many floods. Almost every geologic layer was caused by a flood.
There is no evidence that a flood covered the whole earth.
There is no evidence that a flood covered the whole earth.
None. No evidence at all. The flood story is just that, a story.
If the Flood of Noah's day was a real historical event and was worldwide we would expect to find some or all of the following evidence on the earth: Lots of ...

A:According to the biblical account, there was a worldwide flood approximately 4350 years ago. This should be understood in the context of the evidence that the biblical flood never occurred.
Any river anywhere in the world can flood.
Certainly the story of Noah's Flood is remarkably similar to the Flood story of Umapishtim in the much older Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. On that evidence, the Epic of Gilgamesh is the most likely source for the story of Noah's Flood.
Only those who are very religious believe in a flood because the only "evidence" for a world wide flood is in religious books and not in any reputable publications. As for a "flood" causing an ice age, again there is no reputable evidence for this.
There is no known evidence of there being flood, but they did disappear over time because of the Spanish conquerors that came to claim their land. Although, if they did have a flood, they would have assumed that it was because their rain god, Chac, was displeased with them so they prayed.
The answer to this greatly depends on what year you attribute the occurrence of the Flood of Noah (if it even is a historical event). The oldest common estimates place the events of the Flood at around 4000 B.C.E. The evidence of Civilization (as was later defined) is non-existent, but there were numerous small cities throughout the Middle East. During the 5th millennium B.C.E., Anatolians invented the wheel.
A:Until quite recently, most research scientists were Christians and implicitly believed that Noah's Flood was a historical event. Many believed that all they had to do was look for the evidence and they would find it. Science has moved on and scientists, both Christian and non-Christian, acknowledge that the biblical Noah's Flood is contrary to all the scientific evidence. However, Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) presents a well argued case that the story of Noah's Flood was based on a real, although local event, the inundation of what is now the Black Sea. There is evidence that rising ocean levels at the end of the Younger Dryas, around 5200 BCE, caused the Mediterranean Sea to breach the Bosphorus and flood the former fertile, low-lying plain. Wilson reports much physical and anthropological evidence that several later flood legends were folk memories of this great flood. Science is moving forward with its understanding of the biblical Noah's Flood, but in surprising directions.
