@neologist,
The are no scientific facts that are in conflict with any of the geological studies explaining the origins of the myth of a "Great Flood." Consequently, there aren't any arguments, not even in the Bible as it forms borders for the "world" at that time which includes all the areas geologists have found evidence of massive flooding.
There is no evidence of "world wide" flooding during the time of humankind and that includes the huge percentage of the world which those who wrote the Bible had no knowledge of and apparently Yahweh had no intention of informing them.
