Let's pretend for a moment that there was provable, documented evidence, other than the Bible, that the Flood was real.
How would it personally affect you? Would you feel responsibility to the Creator or would you just carry on as normal?

Wow, this thread is up to 13 pages....
Yan, I was not trying to avoid the question, I admit I didn't completely understand why you posted it, but since you've rephrased it...
Based on your faith, strengthened by a personal supernatural experience, would you walk off the edge of a building if a similar experience assured you it’s ok to do so? Would you ignore the laws of physics and the fact, tested and reinforced by many more personal experiences, that you will plummet to the ground to your death?
It’s a simple YES/NO question.
The answer is no, I would not and I would not ignore the laws of physics.
The long answer is there is no guarantee that someone could expect the same preferntial treatment as the guy who did walk off a building and survive.
Does this tell you what you want to know?
Now, as to the poster who mentioned my screenname, I chose it because I seek truth, it doesn't mean I have found the truth. I do not expect to have all the answers and I'm satisfied with that.

H202 is the symbol for hydrogen peroxide which has one more atom of oxygen than H20. All things have atomic structure that varies in makeup.
When exposed to other matter H202 is changed from its stable composition. An extra oxygen atom is released leaving H20. In nature, oxygen, or O2, consists of two atoms in a stable combination. Plants and vegetation also produce oxygen, but a single oxygen atom is highly reactive and is called a free radical.
H202 in rainwater makes it beneficial for plants than ordinary tap water which contains high concentrations of aluminimum and chlorine due to the sanitizing processes of municipal water supplies. Increased levels of atmosphere pollution cause greater amounts of H202 to react with air borne toxins, the result being that fewer H202 atoms reach the earth because they lose one atom. The result is more H20. Vegetation and plant life suffer as a result. It is likely that H202 was abundant in ground water prior to the flood. Today underground pollution of water aquifers has also robbed it from those sources.
The ozone layer that surrounds the earth consists of three oxygen atoms. The protective layer is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule into two single, unstable oxygen atoms which combine to form ozone which is only partially stable. Ozone will give up the extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater creating H202. When pollution interferes with the natural cycle put in place this causes ozone depletion.
When something is altered in nature it causes imbalance in the life cycle. When this imbalance is corrected, the earth will once again thrive.

Jaguarbass,
I agree that the atmosphere would have changed.
Genesis 1:7 "So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so."
The sky is the expanse. The separation was the canopy of water above the expanse.
The water under the expanse was that which came from springs that watered the earth in the form of a mist. The canopy acted as a barrier that held in the heat from the sun so that the earth was like a warm hot-house around the entire planet. It also kept out harmful radiation from the sun.
To recannopy the planet with a swaddling band of vaporous water, the ice must be melted. When the ice at the poles melt, the atmosphere will become heavier with evaporated waters, uplifted as water vapor. The earth will interact with volcanic activity to begin the process of creating the canopy to trap the moisture in the upper atmosphere. This is why no worldwide flood can ever occur again even though the polar ice caps will all become extinct.
By using mankind's own misuse of this planet, God brings his will into harmony. This planet was flooded long ago and the excess waters were frozen until such time in the future when those reserves would melt and be released into the atmosphere.

EP,
I gave the link as an example of one form of energy.

EP,
Everything is in a state of flux. Everything vibrates. Even your single dumb brain cell.
Take color for example...
http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com/colour/
Colour is simply light of different wavelengths and frequencies and light is just one form of energy that we can actually see that is made up from photons.We are all surrounded by electromagnetic waves of energy of which colour is just a small part. Within the Universe, positive and negative charges (waves of energy), are constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic waves traveling at an incredibly high speed.(186,000 miles per second, the speed of light.)

I did say I was going to go hit the sack but your comments just keep on coming...a few more minutes won't hurt...
Jethro,
Magic is one way of describing it.
What is the most abundant thing in the visible creation? Dust. Not just on the earth because it is made of dust, but out in the universe there are dust clouds. Dust is nothing more than energy. If you understood the transformation of altering energy then you could easily understand how God can manipulate nature, for energy is nature in its many forms. Dust causes rain droplets to fall and without water life does not exist. It is energy vibrating at different speeds dependent upon which side you exist.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 "The dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."Genesis 28:14 "Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring."
Exodus 8:17 "Aron struck the earth with his staff and the dust became gnats of the third plague."
Exodus 9:9 "The dust of the earth also became festering boils on people and animals throughout the land of Egypt." -

I just noticed EP's comment so will make this my final one.
I don't pretend to understand or know your own personal situation.
There's plenty of evidence for God. Look around you. None of what you see just happened or came into existence without a first cause.
I personally believe in the spirit realm. There are millions of people who have experienced supernatural phenomena, some on a regular basis.
I have experienced things I cannot explain or quantify. These beings do exist.

It's late for me so I'm going to say goodnite and will review the comments tomorrow.
And please believe me, I have nothing personal against any of you, this is a public forum, we are free to express our ideas and to agree or disagree with them.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
Seriously folks, let's just agree to disagree.

Poopsie,
No, it was a story and I have watched the adaptations and enjoyed them. You are comparing apples with oranges, a fairytale story with a book believed by billions of people. How presumptuous.
