Thought I would put forth some thoughts.
I do not know what happened. I think it is possible that “world” has both intent and extent in meaning throughout the scriptures. I am not sure that “world” means the same to us as it did the ancients. And so we introduce a new word, global. This is a new term that was not used by the ancients. I am not sure it is wise to introduce new words and then say that the concepts are the same.
One thing I find most interesting. If Noah were to just takes samples of each species of worms known to modern man; that the Ark as described in scripture would not be big enough to accommodate all the worms. I think it is rather curious to believe in a “global flood” and that the account of the Ark is in every way complete and then to not believe in evolution – which would be the only way I know of to account for all the species currently alive. But then religious belief – does not require reasonable intelligence or thought.
I also find it most interesting that some claim there is no proof of the migrations described in the Book of Mormon to account for the ancients in America and then in the next breath say there was a flood at the time of Noah that destroyed all mankind except for Noah and his sons and their wives. The arguments against the Book of Mormon also disprove the Bible. I would think Christians that believe the Bible would not use such arguments.
