There was no deluge Tracks. None. Of course it wasn't global, it just wasn't regional either. Am I supposed to hand you a cookie for being willing to meet me halfway to the truth?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
We're not looking for biblical evidence, snowflake; at least I'm not. We already know what your book says. I, for one, would settle for the tiniest bit of physical evidence. Got any?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't think that Tracks actually expects to find any. My offer's still on the table, not being availed of.

Yeah, and there are tsunamis and rogue waves, and sewer overflow. None of which has any bearing on the deluge. This is the sort of hazy shit that the faithful like to point to, but "floods exist" does not equal "the deluge". I couldn't even draw a direct line from any particular flood as a source. The source flood in the deluge is an entirely imaginary one in every single aspect. It's based on floods the same way that Briar Rabbit is based on there having been rabbits in the world.

I think its more akin to Chinese whispers. Something MAY have happened to trigger an initial legend, but its been distorted into a completely new story.

I think that even suggesting this is so is a stretch. Why? People couldn't have written about a flood that never happened? I doubt JK Rowling ever saw a magical car whisk kids of to fairy school.

My take on this is that someone back in biblical times found some fossil seashells or similar on a mountain and thought the only way they could have got there was if the mountain was once under the sea. Which of course it would have been, back when it was part of the seabed before getting uplifted into a mountain.
