The amount of water on Earth is finite - most of it is held in the oceans.

For a flood to occur, it has to rain; for it to rain, the water in the oceans has to evaporate to form clouds. Floods can occur in limited regions when the rainfall is much greater than normal, but the water soon runs off, back into the ocean. Of course, it would not be possible for a flood to cover the entire earth, both because there is not enough water and because the floodwaters would run back into the oceans so quickly.

Did demons walk the earth before the flood?

A:There is nothing in the Book of Genesis to suggest that demons walked the earth before Noah's Flood, so scripturally the answer would seem to be that they did not. At a practical level, demons do not exist, and science tells us there never was a great flood that covered the whole world. On two counts, that rules out demons walking the earth before the flood.
