Answer
The Bible vaguely mentions water from the deep - under the earth - but there is no evidence of any such water ever existed. Water from near earth's mantle would also possess mantle heat. It would vaporize to steam as it reached the surface, just as hot springs, fumeroles, and volcanic eruptions emit steam.
Nor could we say where this huge volume of water went at the end of the Flood. Where is it?
Flood creationists apparently want us to believe citizens of Babel migrated to North America, South America, Australia, Europe, China, India, and elsewhere to adopt certain unique customs and practices, who were subsequently utterly destroyed, only to be rapidly replaced by completely unrelated descendants of Noah to the same geographic regions post-flood and adopt identical customs, cultural practices, art and architectural styles, and distinguishing skeletal features.

Most of the sedimentary and tectonic processes were complete for all practical purposes millions of years before the Biblical period - or more accurately, these processes are so slow in human terms that the coastlines of the world we see now are not significantly different from their form 3000 years ago.
There is insufficient water on the planet for a 'Waterworld' style transgression.
The highest sea-levels were in the Cretaceous, approaching 100 million years ago, during a long warm period, and reached about 450ft above present level. This was many millions of years before Man appeared on Earth, and the oceans and continents were of different shapes and arrangements than now.
The Noah legend is certainly odd, and may have been oral-tradition legend based on some major but purely-local flood that devastated a particular tribe, but a total inundation is just not possible. Equally legendary is the notion of a vast, natural underground resevoir or aquifer capable of holding such a huge volume of water. So where has the water gone since the end of the Cretaceous 65Ma? Simple: it is held as ice on mountains and the polar land-ice sheets; and even more was held thus during the glacial phases of the present Ice Age! (Note: land-ice only. Melting the Earth's sea-ice such as the North Polar Ice-Cap alone, would not change the sea-level.)
All you need is one verified refutation to debunk the myth and they are numerous. For instance the Egyptians, who were flooded all the time, were not wiped out nor do they even record a flood during that time.
There is also the problem of genetic diversity. No species can survive with a single couple. if their children mate the progeny will quickly become so mutated they can't be viable parents.
Regardless of your faith it must be acknowledged that the flood myth is exactly that; as any educated theologian will tell you.
A few ideas:
Well first of all one is thousands of years apart from the other.
Against the Canaanites, Numbers 21:3. Against the Amorites, Numbers 21:34-35. Against the Midianites, 31:1-54.
People suffer and some get killed by a flood.
A:There is no proof. We have the evidence of a book that some believe was written by Moses, but which scholars say was written centuries later about an event that probably did not occur. Whether or not the biblical account is true, is a matter of faith, not something that can be proven.
A:The Book of Genesis says that Noah was born some 890 years before Abraham was born. He lived another 350 years after the Flood, therefore living until Abraham was some 60 years old, yet he played no further part in the biblical story. He did not use his personal acquaintance with God to argue against the rise of new religions, and Abraham was not aware that he had a living ancestor who could have provided testimony for his God. Neither Abraham nor any other national leader kept in touch with Noah nor sought his advice on any matter. It is as if he ceased to exist once he had fulfilled his biblical role of surviving the Flood.
Evidence for the biblical FloodThere is no actual evidence for the Flood. Some apologists claim that the fossils that scientists say were laid down over many millions of years were actually the skeletons of animals and plants killed suddenly by the Flood. However, scientists could never accept this because the fossils are laid down in predictable layers, many of which can be dated by the rocks in which they are found. If so many animals were killed by rising flood waters, we should expect no layering, or at least none that made sense.There is circumstantial evidence that a traumatic flood event did occur somewhere in or near the Middle East region, because of the many similar legends of a great flood. Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) demonstrates that this is almost certainly a folk memory of a flood event now known to have occurred in 5600 BCE, when the Mediterranean Sea breached the Bosporus and flooded the fertile, low-lying area that is now the Black Sea.Evidence against the biblical FloodThere is not enough water in the world to cover the earth to the top of the mountains. Local floods occur when water evaporates from the ocean and unusual falls of rain temporarily cover an area of land. But what falls in one area (the land) must come from another area (the sea), and gravity soon returns the flood waters back to the sea. There are too many other scientific proofs that a world-wide flood never occurred, to deal with here. At the time the Flood is supposed to have occurred and wiped out all life on earth, around 3000 BCE, the ancient Egyptian civilisation (among others) continued undisturbed. Nothing happened that disturbed the lifestype of the Egyptian people.The Bible itself provides evidence that the story is Noah's Flood is, at least in part, a literary creation, because there are two distinct and complete Flood stories woven together. Scholars have separated the two stories, to show that there are important differences between them - for example in one story there was no distinction between clean and unclean animals and the Flood covered the earth for forty days, while the other says that Noah took two of each unclean animal and seven of each clean animal into the Ark, and the Flood covered the earth for a whole year.
Most are uncirculated, and some are proofs.
Some biblical parallels in "Cry, the Beloved Country" include themes of forgiveness, redemption, justice, and the impact of sin and injustice on society. The character of Absalom Kumalo can be seen as a parallel to the biblical figure of Absalom, and the story's overall message of hope and reconciliation echoes biblical teachings of love and compassion.
Some: king David, king Manassiah, prophet Johna, apostle Peter
According to tradition, the Flood was in 2104 BCE, and Sodom was destroyed in 1713 BCE. See also:Evidence of the Flood
There may be some biblical accounts that are based on stories in older scriptures. Scholars say that the first creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is based on a Babylonian creation myth that the Jews learnt during the Babylonian Exile. The biblical story of Noah's Flood is believed to be based on the story of Utnapishtim in the Gilgamesh Epic of Mesopotamia.
Some believed that they were married, but there were no proofs of their wedding.
