Noah's flood, was it really worldwide..?

Question

If indeed Noah's flood was worldwide, then God's word is null and void. Carefull reading of Pslams 104:1-9, details a event that happened long before Noah's flood. The subject is "creation"...verse 5 "Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever."..Verse 6 "Thou coveredth it,[the earth], with the deep, [water] as with a garment: the WATERS stood above the mountains. ...verse 7 ""At thy rebuke they [waters] fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away". verse 8..""they go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou has founded for them". verse 9.."Thou hast set a bound that they, [waters], may not pass over, that they turn NOT AGAIN TO COVER THE EARTH".
Now, we read that the waters in the flood of Noah, [genesis 8:3]; "And the waters returned from the earth continually; and after the end of 150 days the waters were abated". That's 5 months!! in Pslams the waters abated IMMEDIATLY.
Was Noah's flood wordwide?

Answer 1

These events describe the creation account where the earth was covered in water at first. Check Genesis 1:1-2, and 6-7 where the scriptures refer to a separating of the waters. These waters above the expanse were what God used for the flood.

Answer 2

Dear Royal Racer,

Yes, the flood of Noah's day was universal, ie. covered the entire earth. We know this because the Bible says that ..everything with the breath of life that was not in the ark perished from the face of the earth. So the animals (and fowl)and people that inhabited the earth were drowned in the waters of the flood. I believe the deluge caused a great upheaval of soil and sediment which buried the animals and humans resulted in the oil reservoirs that we are utilizing for fuel today.
The ark contained the male and female of every unclean beast and fowl. It also contained seven of every clean animal and fowl, the male and female. The number of humans aboard the ark was 8. This is what the Lord used to repopulate the earth. "For many are called, but few are chosen."
