That is what the Bible says...not just what I believe (However, I do believe what the Bible says).

Fair enough. Let me ask you this. This is a serious theological inquiry, and not a smart-assed question. What if the Bible said something that your experience told you was loony. For example, what if the Bible said, "All cats lay eggs." What would you believe? The Bible? Or your experience?

Like a 40 days rain flooding the entire world?

How many times in life has your experience been different from someone else's...even in similar situations?

How many times has one of your experienced-based conclusions been inaccurate, falsified and/or wrong?

Given the differences in everyone's experience, and also given the fallibility of personnel experience, can one find absolute truth in experience?

As to the all cats lay eggs question...There is no basis of reality in the question and the Bible never contradicts truth (It is Truth).
