I think it is interesting that not once do any of the writers of the Old Testament or New Testament consider Noah or the flood to be a cute story not based on fact. I'll just quote the New Testament since it would be too many verses if the OT were quoted:

Mat_24:37 For even as the days of Noah, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind."

Mat_24:38 For as they were in those days before the deluge, masticating and drinking and marrying and taking in marriage until the day on which Noah entered into the ark,

Luk_3:36 of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lamech,

Luk_17:26 And according as it occurred in the days of Noah, thus will it be in the days of the Son of Mankind also."

Luk_17:27 They ate, they drank, they married, they took out in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came and destroys them all."

Heb_11:7 By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith."

1Pe_3:20 He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water,

2Pe_2:5 and spares not the ancient world, but guards Noah, an eighth, a herald of righteousness, bringing a deluge on the world of the irreverent;"

Here is an interesting article on the Grand Canyon proving a world-wide flood:

Evidence For Noah's Flood Presented

For the record I really do believe there was a world-wide flood.

Well could you explain how the Egyptians, Chinese and a few other civilisations managed to survive it?

How excatally did the Native Americans surive the global flood? It's amazing that grown adults believe in this cute fairy tale as literal fact in the 21st century.

I also agree the flood happened as well. The only fairy tale about the flood is the one we make up in our minds. (We've seen all the Noah baby story books. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but unfortunately that is the only picture we have concerning the flood. For a true picture of the flood, it will require some research)

A flood that god created to murder every single human on the plant, except for the handful on the big boat, yet supporters use the proof of many cultures documenting the flood as part of their history as proof.

Exactly how did all these people that drowned in the flood, write it all down?

Were the blogging, "oh heck, it's up to my neck"

I watched most of "Waterworld", so I know a global flood is a possibility.

That's a very one sided website. All it really offers is a biblical version of "the flood" and no scientific evidence to back it up.
Throwing around a few big words and some quasi-scientific phrases isn't evidence.

The pyramids stood, long before "the flood" and they still stand today. Funny thing is, there is NO evidence of their ever having been submerged. Also, the Egyptians were fanatical and prolific record keepers. You would think that if a flood of that magnitude had happened there would have at least been a mention of it. No, not a word.

Finally, we simply do not have enough water on the planet to have flooded the land as was claimed in the Bible.

Sorry, but as with so many other biblical claims, there is simply no proof.

That would take a miracle. They didn't have camera's.

The people that died didn't write anything. It was Noah's descendants that would write these flood traditions. Yet because of the incident at the Tower of Babel, they forgot the complete story, and thus this is why we have so many traditions.

The pyramids stood before the flood? Or are we getting this information from dating methods?
