people were all over the globe at the time. my favorite theory is a few meteorites hit on top of the glaciers during the ice age and lakes of meltwater wiped everything out
One thing a lot of people don't realize is that in the days of Noah, it had NEVER rained before. There was a large canopy of water in the sky (Genesis 1 talks about the separation of the waters). I think it may have blocked a lot of radiation from the sun which contributed to the long lifespans on Earth before the flood.
The plants were watered by a mist that rose up from the ground. So not only was he building an ark to prepare for rain and a flood. He was doing it in a world that had never seen rain. It didn't even exist, yet.
I am fairly God believing now, but I have no idea how it's possible to reconcile that sort of age when we have no one in the modern world even a 6th of that age.
Before the flood there was a firmament around the planet, protecting it from UV and also making the oxygen much more dense. No UV means little or no genetic mutations(loss of genetic info). Also, look at how quickly athletes heal in oxygen tanks, and imagine the whole world like that. Pre-flood world is almost unimaginable. To think about how abundant life was, imagine all of today's oil and coal coming from plants and animals killed during the flood.
The oxygen density is particularly interesting. Just breathing would be pleasurable. Fauna would be huge. Another interesting bit is that lizards never stop growing. We have giant lizards at 100s of years, if they were allowed to go to 1000 you'd have something akin to a dinosaur.
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t so, the Bible gives a long list of very long-lived people. There’s plenty of things we haven’t personally witnessed in our age, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.
Back when Bill Cosby was still known for funny and mostly-wholesome stand-up comedy, and not the later ghastly stuff that put him in jail, he had a funny bit about Noah and the Ark.

969, oldest man in the Bible. Yet he died before his father.
How? His dad was Enoch, who was raptured!
Also, Methuselah means "His death shall bring" and the year he died is when the flood started. Enoch may have been given a prophecy of the flood in order to name his son that.

Having so many countries, cultures, and religions including a flood story is further evidence of its reality.
And there’s literally a geological flood line throughout the globe.
Something I learned as a short term geology major back in the day. There’s a continuous flood line at the same strata level all over the earth.
Here’s an interesting one that popped up under a quick search.

You don't have to.god said it happened.

Anything to stay away from what God said he actually did. ?
Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs. The Titanic was built by professionals. Kek!
The ark had some good instructions though :)
Ants prepare for winter while the grass hoppers frolic around thinking they are above the consequences of not prepping for winter.
When the great awakening happens be the prepared worker ant to help your friends, family and community to heal.
JUST A REMINDER FOLKS
Conspiracy isn't a theory
IT'S A FELONY
Drip, drip, FLOOD.
blame it on the rains yeah yeah??
Actually, Noah did not have any theories regarding any conspiracies. He simply listened to God and obeyed while being taunted by everyone.

That's not accurate. Rain existed before Noah. During the early years of the formation of earth, it rained quite a bit.
Proof????
In case you missed this one on March 8...
Hawaii dam that overflowed was in 'unsatisfactory' condition, set for removal 2021
The smooth brains in charge in Hawaii knew it could happen at least a year ago and did NOTHING!
"These people are stupid."
Actually much much longer than that. Methuselah was I believe 938.

With God anything is possible. Sin has changed the world since creation.

I tend to agree here. Interpretation problem. There are many interpretations of cubit. Some accepted, some not by moderners

"Yeah, right. What's a cubit?" Kek!
This article shows how easily the earth could be millennia younger than traditional thought. https://earthage.org/scientific-evidence-for-a-worldwide-flood/

How very Christian of you.
