Short term topic closure coming
I'm going to presume that this topic has a better purpose than to turn into another flood topic.
Maybe people should review this topic from the beginning.
Closing in 10 minutes.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

"The Flood" now declared to be off-topic in this topic
Yes, the "Great Flood" is part the history presented by the Bible, but it is something much covered elsewhere, in many specialized topics.
So, how about excluding the flood from further consideration in this topic? OK - Make that a command from "on high" -
THE FLOOD IS OFF-TOPIC IN THIS TOPIC!
