Doing the math is a fun exercise.
One person had said 3.25 times all the water in the oceans.
My number came up to 3.12.
We can do the math today, and probably this should be demonstrated in math class to children, bc sufficient information about the Earth has been collected.
Long ago, it was not possible to calculate this and the people did not have a reason to suspect that the story is bullshit.
On top of that, it was reasonable for humans long ago that the minimum number of humans needed to repopulate was 1 male and 1 female (Adam + Eve).
So having a set of Noah+wife and his 3 sons+wives was reasonable.
Collecting 1 male and 1 female was reasonable to them (or 7 clean animals).
Of course, the believer can just claim that his god is omnipotent and did his magic to bring the water from elsewhere and then made it disappear again.
For some reason, none of them make that claim.
