The global flood is scientific fact. When massive amounts of ice melts (as it did at the end of the last Ice Age) it does not just disapear into space for a little holiday untill we need it again at the next Ice Age, it goes into the sea (mainly) and contributes to a rising sea level. This rising sea level does not happen localy hence global flood.
Even if we did not have this evidence, fishing ships haul up land animal bones from the bottom of the worlds oceans all the time (as well as signs of human habitation). These are not magical bones. They are there because the animals died and then the bones were covered by the rising water.
The eruption on Thera happened around the same time as the Exodus account was set. An explosion of that scale (about a hundred times worse than Mt. Saint Helen) leads to the plauges accounted for in Exodus (although in the wrong order, which is to be expected in such an old manuscript). What is more, there is various mentions to the Hebrews (Hykos) in slavery on tomb walls etc. I could ramble on for pages about the subject, but thats not the debate in hand, is it?!
