Unfortunately, that account violates a huge amount of the real-world evidence, and thus has been falsified.
If you ever managed to resolve all of those apparently insurmountable problems for the creationist version of a flood scenario, feel free to come back and present us with the results of your research. Make sure that your thesis is consistent with the totality of the evidence, however, and not just one tiny corner of it in isolation while violating most of the rest (a common creationist tactic).Problems with a Global FloodReview of John Woodmorappe's "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study"

no it doesn't, that the evidence of God's Global Flood invalidates any of mankinds means of rationalizing it away.

Why are people dealing with geology, rocks, and fossils? The flood is commonly accepted to be about 4350 years old. You should be dealing with soils!
You need to talk to the archaeologists, not the geologists!
We have a good continuous record in the western US of human habitation (including mtDNA, archaeology, settlement and subsistence strategies, etc.), faunal and floral succession (pollen records, tree rings from bristlecone pines, etc.), sedimentology, and a lot more. And this is in the soils.
There is simply no room for a global flood, with total population and faunal/floral replacement, and immense erosional forces acting on the soils. The evidence is simply not there.
