I am a believer – some arguments I have heard - 80-90% of the Earth’s crust is composed of sedimentary rocks – rocks created from being crushed under a large weight… We also have clear evidence of mass extinctions of animals, scientists are still debating the cause of the extinctions… There are lots of fossils – recall that the best way to make a fossil is to rapidly bury a creature….
In any event,
We believe in baptism by immersion, not by sprinkling. It seems to me that the same thing would apply to the Earth. I think it is fascinating that the Earth has a spirit of it’s own – a living entity that will undergo the same ordinances that we do.
There are more intense things that happened than the flood.
Josh 20: 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
The book of Jasher is online.

People can try and scientifically explain away everything – how there is a wind that dries part of the Red Sea occasionally for people to pass along, or how there is a type of red algae that can make the Nile look like blood, or how it is possible for a virgin to give birth, or how a coma can sometimes make a person look like they were dead – you can go scientifically explaining away all miracles until they are no longer miracles at all, but just naturally occurring phenomenon with ideal timing.
I don’t think God only works through “natural” means… or at least what we consider to be “natural”. Not that He is a “God of the gaps” but there is no need to try and explain everything away to verify it…
