And there's a limit to how saturated the atmosphere can become before the water literally precipitates out. Based on what we currently know about chemistry, there is no way to suspend enough water above the Earth to create the Noachide flood.
I'm fairly sure that any physical conditions that would allow for that much water to be suspended in the sky would also be inimical to life on earth, thereby obviating any need for Biblegod to drown everything -- virtually everything, except for perhaps some extremophiles living in deep-sea trenches, would already be dead.
I don't even know why believers are trying to science up that stupid fable, when they can just say "Magic!" and be done with it.

I expect to see it happen in my lifetime.
