Besides SO many cultures that are so far away from each other having a flood legend (something large scale must have happend in order for them all to have the same story!) there's all these geological proofs that can ONLY be described by a worldwide flood:
The Grand Canyon and Other Canyons
Mid-Oceanic Ridge
Continental Shelves and Slopes
Ocean Trenches
Seamounts and Tablemounts
Earthquakes
Magnetic Variations on the Ocean Floor
Submarine Canyons
Coal and Oil Formations
Glaciers and the Ice Ages
Frozen Mammoths
Major Mountain Ranges
Overthrusts
Volcanoes and Lava
Geothermal Heat
Metamorphic Rock
Strata
Plateaus
Salt Domes
Jigsaw Fit of the Continents
Fossil Graveyards
Do you see?? Do you agree? Evolution could have never caused all those!

I'll just deal with the first few for now... hopefully each person can answer at least one of those "proofs" so the community will tackle all of them.
Canyons are actually formed by rivers, not by receding water. The flood waters would have receded far too quickly to form canyons.
The Mid-Oceanic Ridge, earthquakes, major mountain ranges, and the jigsaw fit of the continents can all be explained by Plate Tectonics. In fact, I don't see how the flood could possibly explain these things. You'd need to explain that one to me.
Glaciers and frozen mammoths are evidence of an Ice Age, not the flood.
Coal/oil formation can be explained through evolution. Since bacteria capable of digesting lichen did not evolve for a long time, plant material did not decay as rapidly, and was therefore fossilized.
Geothermal heat, volcanoes, and lava can be explained by combining the nebular hypothesis (formation of the solar systme) with our understanding of geology.
That leaves:
Ocean Trenches
Seamounts & Tablemounts
Magnetic Variations on the Ocean Floor
Overthrusts
Metamorphic Rock
Strata
Plateaus
Salt Domes
Fossil Graveyards.
Anybody care to take care of those?

Global warming is indeed real and has been documented with ice cores dating back tens of thousands of years. What is NOT real is the quackery that humans caused (or can even affect) global warming. The scare tactics being perpetrated upon us are only a money/power grab scheme by bottom-feeder politicians accompanied by their so-easily-led sheeple who take their prattle, even their movies, as hard science . To find that my statement above is true, follow the money. See just who it is who will profit from the carbon offset, carbon tax, & etc. Here is truth about global warming: Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling. The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun. Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history). As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm). When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age. It's been happening for millions of years. The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY. As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather. Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change': Humans did not cause it. Humans cannot stop it.

Oh, I see Henry Morris and sons are still open for business with this nonsense.
Joe Meert is laughing at you right now. So am I.
A global flood was and is scientifically impossible.
What was written was a large, localized flood which seemed to cover what they knew to be the earth.
You're 2,000 years or more behind. Plenty of time to catch up if you take a look at flood geology writings.
It's hilarious to read "Scientists have found pieces of the Ark". Nope, but there are always suckers donating funds to Ark searches.

A global flood is unreasonable.
Now, a collapse of landmasses into the waters is viable. The sheer quantity of water on the planet to flood the earth would have changed the atmosphere so much that humans could not breathe, and the sheer change of air pressure would have crushed human beings under its weight.
You should really look at your Hebrew and Aramaic words as "translated" to read as the whole world. That is an inaccurate translation. Speak to a rabbi regarding the tale and I think it would be beneficial to you as a Christian. That is, if you acknowledge that the Old Test. is a collection of the oral history of the Jewish people that also foretells the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior.
God bless!

Many of those are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates. The Grand Canyon was caused by simple erosion.
You don't know what you are talking about.

I'm sure there were great floods. Can you say..."tsunami"?
They don't explain the *geological* phenomena you're summing up.
But I'm sure floods left a huge impression on the people who survived. I'm sure people wrote about them, even in their religious books.
All this is not evidence against evolution.

Those are all explained by the continental shift and melting of the ice during the ice age as well as other SCIENTIFIC reasons. All of this has not happened in the past 6000 years as creationists "believe" It to BILLIONS of years.

This followed the Ice Age so I don't see what you're getting at in terms of disproving evolution. When the glaciers melted, they created these places. Erosion......

There is NO evidence of a global flood. It is a story of a LOCAL flood in Babylon made into a morality tale. Your "evidence" is your own and has no relationship with reality. Please tell your preacher or whomever told you this constituted evidence that graduating the 6th grade does not make them educated.
