People have been trying for 500 years and the results continue to diverge.

Do you suggest any links to succinct summaries of said results? I'd like to read them. Google does not distinguish between legitimate research and tinfoil-hat ravings...

Part of your problem is that from the scientific/engineering point of view all attempts to justify the Noachian deluge naturalistically are tinfoil hat ravings, because there is no mechanism that even gets close without a host of miracles, both large-scale, and small. Anyone purporting to have scientific or engineering training who tells you otherwise is simply lying to you. I'm sorry to have to say.

It ought to be possible to first ask, "If the Flood occurred worldwide, what evidence ought we to find in nature?" and then go look for it. Even a miracle ought to leave a fingerprint. In the net, though, I am finding very few attempts to answer the question scientifically. I understand the biblical approach and agree with it but, that doesn't help convince a sceptic. If anyone is doing this research, they aren't publishing online and they don't have a lot of grant money. I run into the same problem when researching OT texts. Sometimes hardcopy is the only way. I'm off to the library.
