Here is the evidence that shows it is indeed real

I have the images to show you but I cannot upload them & I don't know why?

I have no doubt that the flood of Noah's time did happen in real history. Not only do I believe it as an assertion of Scripture, but I also believe it based on visible evidence.

If you're having trouble loading images, check the Singles forum; there is a sticky post at the top on uploading images.

I believe as well, God created the whole universe, a flood on a planet is a drop in the bucket comparingly.

It only would take about 3 1/2 miles higher of water around the earth to raise the sea level above the tallest mountains.

All the water on the earth right now is just a mere puddle compared to the mass of the earth.

I think it was probably local and quite long ago, not just few thousand years ago as young earth theory says.

Evidence 1: Fossils of sea creatures high above sea level due to the ocean waters having flooded over the continents

We find fossils of sea creatures in rock layers that cover all the continents. For example, most of the rock layers in the walls of Grand Canyon (more than a mile above sea level) contain marine fossils. Fossilized shellfish are even found in the Himalayas.
Focus in: High & Dry Sea Creatures
Evidence 2: Rapid burial of plants and animals

We find extensive fossil “graveyards” and exquisitely preserved fossils. For example, billions of nautiloid fossils are found in a layer within the Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon. This layer was deposited catastrophically by a massive flow of sediment (mostly lime sand). The chalk and coal beds of Europe and the United States, and the fish, ichthyosaurs, insects, and other fossils all around the world, testify of catastrophic destruction and burial.
Focus in: The World’s a Graveyard
Evidence 3: Rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas

We find rock layers that can be traced all the way across continents—even between continents—and physical features in those strata indicate they were deposited rapidly. For example, the Tapeats Sandstone and Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon can be traced across the entire United States, up into Canada, and even across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The chalk beds of England (the white cliffs of Dover) can be traced across Europe into the Middle East and are also found in the Midwest of the United States and in Western Australia. Inclined (sloping) layers within the Coconino Sandstone of Grand Canyon are testimony to 10,000 cubic miles of sand being deposited by huge water currents within days.
Focus in: Transcontinental Rock Layers
Evidence 4: Sediment transported long distances

We find that the sediments in those widespread, rapidly deposited rock layers had to be eroded from distant sources and carried long distances by fast-moving water. For example, the sand for the Coconino Sandstone of Grand Canyon (Arizona) had to be eroded and transported from the northern portion of what is now the United States and Canada. Furthermore, water current indicators (such as ripple marks) preserved in rock layers show that for “300 million years” water currents were consistently flowing from northeast to southwest across all of North and South America, which, of course, is only possible over weeks during a global Flood.
Focus in: Sand Transported Cross Country
Evidence 5: Rapid or no erosion between strata

We find evidence of rapid erosion, or even of no erosion, between rock layers. Flat, knife-edge boundaries between rock layers indicate continuous deposition of one layer after another, with no time for erosion. For example, there is no evidence of any “missing” millions of years (of erosion) in the flat boundary between two well-known layers of Grand Canyon—the Coconino Sandstone and the Hermit Formation. Another impressive example of flat boundaries at Grand Canyon is the Redwall Limestone and the strata beneath it.

I know them, I was a young earth creationist for circa 15 years.
In my view the young earth creationist view really has nothing to do with a global flood, that can happen on a young earth or old earth.

I believe it did happen. We have a Biblical account, and physical evidence of it in the earth. (and not that this really matters too much, but the majority of history books recount it, although they do not accredit it to the Most High)

Either the Word of G-d is true or it's not. TRUE!!! So YES REAL!!!

If it is not why believe you need Y-shua as Savior that is as crazy sounding as a world wide flood. I mean a man is G-d died for the sins of the world, rose on the third day and coming back....

Which is crazier!?! It's ALL TRUE or NON OF OT IS TRUE!!!!
