Updating this thread with a video made by AronRa in which he brings up the Christian geologists who in the face of the geological evidence had no problem setting aside the biblical account of the flood and accepting that such a flood never happened, and then addressing the evidence against the biblical flood story.

How Geology Disproves Noah's Flood

We have lots on our plates and plenty to be concerned about with daily living, to spend time on these types of matter that won't be solved anyway.

Jesus said not bother with worries and concerns about the future - that daily life has enough trouble of its own - and similarly doesn't command us to dwell on the past either. We're only here a short time, and the daily harvest and work is plenty.

That Noah's flood never happened is beyond doubt. And if everyone had your attitude we would still be in the stone age.

LOL I have nothing to say about Noah's flood - whether it was real or not. I don't know, and don't care. It plays no role in daily living.

I'm not going to waste time on such pointless matters. I'm sticking with Jesus' focus on daily living, and not idleness and daydreaming. You'll have to answer to God for that.

You're the one complaining about not wasting time and not being idle and having to answer to God. Yet here you are wasting time by complaining about not wasting time. Well, I don't have time for hypocrites, so you can simply be disregarded.

Could the Grand Canyon Have Been Carved Out by a Single Flood?

Welp. That settles it. Some geologist guy says it couldn't have happened.

No legitimate geologist who is not on the payroll of some young earth creationist organization would argue that Noah's flood happened. All the geological evidence refutes it, and any young earth creationist believer who rejects the evidence does so strictly because of theological reasons.

No, it doesn't. I don't mean to say that there was a global flood, only to say that simply because the Grand Canyon wasn't formed by a global flood -- it was formed over millions of years of water and wind erosion -- doesn't prove there was not a global flood. Your logic is flawed.

Frankly, literal interpretation is a modern practice and many (including myself) believe those that seek a literal meaning in the stories of the Old testament are not getting the point. The stories are allegorical, meant to pass on a complicated belief system in a Consciousness that is beyond understanding.

It may surprise you that at the time of the Bible's creation, there were other creationist stories ascribed to by other peoples. Many different aboriginal cultures today, including Native Americans, have their own creationist stories. There are more flavors of beliefs than most people understand without benefit of a world religion study plan.
