Re: There is no issue with beliefs.
Unless someone can provided evidence of an item believed to exist actual existence in reality it remains simply a belief.
In the case of some beliefs, like the Flood, the beliefs are held despite the knowledge of the evidence to the contrary. I think that is plenty of reason to call the belief false even if you apply the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" canard.

Re: Perhaps You Can Initiate The Explanations
If the land mass was all in one place and was relativity flat and you had that kind of rise of water the land mass would be covered in just a few hours. The tide would not go out the water would just rise until it reached 15 cubits above the highest point on the land mass.
Why are the tides at the Bay of Fundy nearly unique, ICANT? Is it because Fundy is the only place on earth with a topology similar to the "land mass all in one place and relatively flat" scenario that you describe for the entire earth? Or is there some other reason? Hint: The explanation for the tides at the Bay of Fundy is readily available to anyone who bothers to look.

Re: I dont support the flood, but like to discuss it
Which is fine. It will stand as solid evidence that no one can support the reality of either Biblical Flood myth.
In particular, the Bay of Fundy portion of this thread is evidence of the inane stuff that some folks will say. I don't really know that it is necessary for the Bay of Fundy to have a Flood explanation. Surely even if there was a worldwide Flood 4500 years ago, some geological and topological features of the earth could have other explanations. But I do know that the Flood as described in Genesis does not have a "Bay of Fundy" explanation.
Isn't the Flood a Noun? How did Moses manage to write about that anyway?

Re: Perhaps You Can Initiate The Explanations
My mentioning of the rise and fall of the water at the Bay of Fundy is for visual content only.
That statement means nothing.
The tide rises and falls and has been doing so for a very,very,very long time. It has not destroyed the landscape.
Really? What did the landscape look like before ICANT?
Are you even trying here?
