Count me with the believers. If ever science and the scritures seem to conflict, then I believe that the science is faulty somehow. Call me naive, but no matter.
Possibly there's no geographical evidence because they are looking for it in the wrong point in history. Things didn't always progress as slowly as they do now. The scriptures mention whole continents moving in one man's lifetime. So at times, geographical changes happened more rapidly than at other times.
Since the flood was a physical baptism of the earth, everything--with the exception of the ark--was washed away. Everything we have now, meaning all fossils, are post-flood. This includes dinosaurs. So if the scientists looked for the flood at the beginning of the fossil record, they might find it.
Anyway, the scriptures are true. They always have been.
