Worldly Explanation
Flood is a story and not an actual event. The Earth as we know it was created through "uniformitarianism" – the belief or principle that the past history of the earth and its inhabitants is best interpreted in terms of what is known about the present.
Bibilical Explanation
The flood was the first time the earth was cleansed of sin using living water. Humanity's first judgement and is a historical event. The earth was profoundly affected by the flood and the evidence of the flood is quite literally written on the face of the earth.
