The science is squirrelly. Don't make a science argument here. A miracle would be an appropriate answer. Think of how high up mountains are. To flood everything in sitting water, think about 30,000 feet above sea level filled with water around the globe. It didn't happen with science. I am not insulting you as to say God couldn't have done it as a miracle, and then dissapeared the water, but the volume of water just doesn't exist, even in a humid atmosphere. There is only so much water air can hold. Not 30,000 feet high across the entire surface of the planet.

I agree, it's an awful lot of water. But how much water is there under the surface of the ocean floor. Another point has been made that the oceans did not exist or not nearly as big as they currently do before the flood. In addition there seems to be scriptural proof that the continents were not divided up until after the flood.

I think that the miracle of the flood was done without creating and uncreating new water though. The bible says that existing water was released.
