"Two kinds of flood model are not addressed here. First is the local flood. Genesis 6-8 can be interpreted as a homiletic story such that the "world" that was flooded was just the area that Noah knew. Creationists argue against the local flood model because it doesn't fit their own literalist preconceptions, but I know of no physical evidence contrary to such a model.

Second, the whole story can be dismissed as a series of supernatural miracles. There is no way to contradict such an argument. However, one must wonder about a God who reportedly does one thing and then arranges every bit of evidence to make it look like something else happened. It's entirely possible that a global flood occurred 4000 years ago or even last Thursday, and that God subsequently erased all the evidence, including our memories of it. But even if such stories are true, what's the point?"

Actually many theorize that the Earth had a green house like water canopy in the upper atmosphere and that it was the collapse of the canopy that created the flood. There is some physical evidence pointing toward that possibility.

I think Noah's Ark is a story, like the many other stories in the bible, which have a spiritual basis and perhaps some moral lesson to them. It is not, however, factual or realistic (as the website you referenced points out). The bible is a book of stories, and that's all.

It's a theological way to say that God all ways makes a new pact with the human creature, even if we destroy earth with our violence.

Dr. Kent Hovind can explain so much better than I can, but if you can't get the website to work, contact me. :)
