The Pacific Islanders were rocked a few years ago by that wave caused by an earthquake. I want to say it was the Philippines and/or Indonesia specifically. Imagine a continent breaking into like 5 pieces and the water displacement that would cause.
The global flood is also supported by following human migration patterns. We know that various groups of people migrated from around modern day Turkey outward. As they traveled, the people named geographic locations after Noah and his sons. Now the places aren’t called Noah Mountain or Ham River, but they’re derivations of their names in the language of the people group that named it. This isn’t necessarily proof of the flood, but it supports the Tower of Babel.
yea, you can even turn the ashes of your loved ones into diamonds
India got hit by that too, a lot of places did
The whole Pacific rim I think
Ah ok. I just remember the islands because of the news talking about how bad it was for them.
There isn't enough water in the world to cover every land mass, and if there was it would be higher than Mt. Everest, which means the water levels would be so high in altitude it would freeze.
However, there are accounts in various ancient religions about a great flood.
Which means Noah and his family weren't the only survivors.
I also suspect it had to do with the ending of an ice age, thus causing massive amounts of ice to melt.
It didn’t just rain. Water came from under the ground. And the mountains were created by the sudden ripping and crashing of Pangea’s plates. The other cultures with the flood story come from Noah’s descendants. The ice age was also most likely created by the flood changing the climate.
There’s evidence of a source of water under the ground. In the last few years I remember seeing a story of rocks that can only be formed in the presence of water that burst out of the ground. I’ll see if I can find it.

Regardless
If all the water flooded the earth it would raise too high in altitude, and the world would freeze.
It would be stuck like that.
Also
Where did all that water go?
Did god just 'make it disappear'
The loss of water in the crust would destabilize the crust and cause massive collapses to such an extent that massive creators would have formed globally.

And agreed.
Meaning that many, if not all, of the continents would have caved in on themselves and wouldn’t exist.
Honestly, I think it was from when all the ice caps melted, and it covered a large portion of the world, as not every ancient religion has a story about a great flood.
That is most likely it.
It was mainly eastern and middle eastern religions, too.
The water just went back under the crust to the mantle. And you’re assuming that Mount Everest has always been there. It was formed from the crashing of the plates. The water level wouldn’t need to be high enough to cover a Mount Everest.
Genesis 7: 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
The death on this global flood scale is most likely where our fossil record comes from.
But every mountaintop was covered in water, or else he would have been able to find land.
The mountain tops were created as the separation was calming down. He could just as likely landed on Mount Everest or the Rocky Mountains or even the alps. His boat just landed around modern day Turkey most likely.
Pangea was ripped apart to let the water out from the mantle. Then as everything settled, the water went back to the mantle and the plates continued to move.
And if we all came from 1 family, how come we all look differently
Different races.
Genetic variance is huge. That’s like asking why all dogs don’t look the same.
No
You have a family of 8
Race would be an appropriate term if we couldn’t breed with all humans.
They all look relatively similar
