There no evidence that there was a global flood.

And even outside of the typical areas of "hard" science, when you look at archeology, cultural anthropology, history, etc. there is valid evidence of flood stories and myths in many cultures that often predate the version told in the Torah and OT that share many strikingly similar features but vary vastly in religious consequence.
