The assumption is around 6000 years, actually. I believe it could be older than that, but probably around that range. I do believe there was a global flood, yes. There seems to be a global concensus on it, actually, when you consider the number of flood legends from the different cultures, and the facts they agree upon:

Of all choices, atheism requires the greatest faith, as it demands that ones limited store of human knowledge is sufficient to exclude the possibility of God.
