From the thread https://www.democraticunderground.com/1218298838

The flood is a metaphor for cleansing.

Like using water to baptize.

On the other hand, one hopes that Mr. Crockett has a better knowledge of hsitory that he does of science.

There is no qualification, no I believe, no it could be. You are stating this as fact, as if you KNOW exactly what it is.

So it is not unacceptable to presume you claim to know (at least in your own mind) what the Bible means by Noachian Flood.
