First you're ignoring the evidence I presented

What evidence was that then. I saw you name some features, but I missed the evidence. Sorry.

second the the Hebrew and Greek word used in the OLD & NEW testeament refer to GLOBAL flood, fissures all over the globe as well as over 270 accounts of this event worldwide...So I have my reasons and evidence to believe,

I already addressed this in post #1003. You'd expect ancient civilisations to have flood myths. In the light of the effects of events such as Hurricane Katrina on an ancient civilisation which would have no defence and no system of advance warning it would be surprising if ancient cultures *didn't* have myths of floods that killed nearly everyone "in the world". We are talking about people who had no idea of the scale of the world. The OT is pre-occupied entirely with talking about a small area of the Middle East.

but "angular conformities" as far as I understand, make no sense in this case when the flood lasted less than a year and much of the flood came up from beneath the surface anyway, not neccessarily rain.

At least we appear to be in agreement that angular unconformities make no sense in the light of a claim that the geological column was laid down by a global flood a few thousand years ago. However in the light of normal mainstream geology they make perfect sense.

Could someone tell me where in the Bible it says the flood waters came from some source other than rain.
