A creationist gave some evidence of a flood. His name is NDMA
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=2012102402...
His points are:
1. After the great volume of waters which were formerly trapped below the Earth's oceanic crust was released the weight of the released waters accumulating above the crust, would then cause the floor of the ocean and the continental shelf to sink downwards until pressures reached equilibrium.
Is there evidence of this? YES The drowned reefs of the New England Seamounts and the submerged river beds of the Continental Shelf are observable physical evidence that the floors of the great ocean basins sank to greater depths and that sea level is about 1000 meters higher today than it was before the flood. This fact that most of the underwater canyons are clearly extensions of present-day rivers provides further support and because these canyons have not yet eroded away indicates that this happened recently (on the order of thousands of years)
2. Melting or partial melting of ice caps coupled with alteration of the planetary albedo would result in a sudden and significant drop in global temperatures.
3. Erosion due to an absence of grasses after the flood would produce a world wide dust bowl.

Troubled Times: Sea-Floor Dust
4. All that water and the gravitational forces of the moon likely would have produced anomolies in the earths axis.
What happened in 2345 b.c.?
Oh, in anticipation of the question "where did the water go" as noted in prediction # 1 above, the weight of the water made the oceans much deeper than they were before the flood. Additionally much of the water was subducted under the earths crust (where it came from when the fountains of the deep broke up).

-----------------------
On the last point. This doesnt confirm that this is the water used in the flood. We should find some evidence of it.

I will try to find the link for that other claim.
