Yes, there is evidence, blatantly overlookedover two hundred myths worldwide that suggest that a worldwide flood might have happened. One of those happens to reside in Genesis. And, oh yes, Homo neanderthalensis disappeared at the same time. I'd call that ~200 pieces of evidence. Do we need something more substantial? You bet we do. But we also need to dispense with unsupported dismissiveness (as you've displayed) and self-indulgent ridicule (that other skeptics have displayed).
Okay, I won't be unsupportedly dismissive. I'll be dismissive based on evidence.
All of the geological evidence worldwide shows conclusively that there has never been a single world wide flood event. 200 myths, 2,000 myths, even 2,000,000 historical eyewitness accounts if we had them, would be insufficient to establish the historicity of an event that the physical evidence shows did not happen. Myths may be a good place to begin an investigation, but they are a poor hook to hang one's hat on when they conflict with fact.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist
