Quote:1. The flood would have been at least the third time humanity had started "fresh" according to Genesis.Citations please.
Quote:2. The Bible isn't specific about the flood being world-wide.Genesis 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
Pretty conclusive as far as your creationist buddies are concerned.
Quote:3. Based on the text, it could be argued that the flood was to eradicate genetic impurities, not so much just to eliminate "evil"...Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
What bit of the text do you wish to counter with?

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
