Lack of topic focus!!!

How would the earth look today if there had been a global catastrophic flood circa 4,500-5,000 years ago?
"Bolding" is in original message.
I think a fundimental point is to first state the nature of the Earth's geology and topography prior to the flood. I would suggest that we look at the Earth from the "old" perspective.
The above quoted seems to imply the premise that the "global catastrophic flood" never actually happened. Thus there are now no affects of said flood.
I also think that we should not speculate on the causes of said flood, other that that it was the will of God and that s/he somehow produced and later disposed of the water (IT WAS SOME SORT OF MIRACLE!!!). One thing that is pretty clear from the Bible, is that it rained for 40 days - I think we can presume A LOT OF RAIN.
So think about this. I'm going to close the topic for a while, in about 10 minutes.

OK - Reopened
How about these premises?:
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
C. 4500 years ago it rained hard all over the Earth, for 40 days and nights, because God made it such. Let's not worry about the water source, the temperature effects of condensation, etc. There were also be other water sources, but let's not sweat such details. Just say God was directly adding volume to the oceans.
This resulted in sea level rising, say, 3000 feet (or 1000 metres if you prefer) over those 40 days.
Then over the next year (or pick you own time period) the water drained to the ocean basins, where God removed it back to wherever s/he stores that extra supply of water.
Now, what was the nature of the Earth, as opposed to pre-flood?
