Some historical events can come and go and not leave a trace of evidence. Where is the evidence for the great San francisco earthquake other than historical documents? I cannot remember the name of the egyptian city I saw documented on the history channel, but a whole city moved from one location to the other and left no trace that it was ever there. As you can see, limiting yourself to physical evidence narrows down what you will accept as reality when reality happens to be much bigger.
However, limiting yourself to verifiable evidence does allow you to be confident in your conclusions. These limitations actually provide a benefit. If we did not limit ourselves to evidence then how could we determine if an idea is accurate or not?
Even more, we are talking about a global flood. A massive global flood will leave evidence. It can't be avoided. If someone was digging through the geologic record near Mt. St. Helens do you think they would miss the evidence for an eruption in 1980? No. It is all over the place. We are talking about a global flood that would absolutely dwarf that eruption. So where is the evidence?
