Some geological features are caused by floods, but there's no evidence of any flood as large as or as widespread as the flood described in Genesis, and a lot of evidence that no such flood has or could have occurred. See this post for a lot of links on that subject.

Actually, I have some additional evidence not covered in your many links.

There is a cave in southern Alaska called On Your Knees Cave, which had a partial human skeleton dated to 10,300 years.

That individual produce some mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) which matched living individuals stretching all the way down the west coasts of North and South Americas, to the tip of Tierra del Fuego.

This shows a span of some 10,300 years of mtDNA not interrupted by the mtDNA expected of Noah's female companions (as mtDNA is passed down only along the female line).

10,300 years with no interruption means there was no global flood at about 4,300 years ago. (This is just one of many such examples.)

SWEET, another link from C-Man! :o)

global flood at about 4,300 years ago

I have no opinion on a date for a/the flood. Hydrology is still in dispute over simple things like the age of Niagara Falls and the Mississippi/Missouri river to start stating "without a shadow of a doubt" any ages. The best we/they got are SWAGS (scientific wild a$$ guesses) and general assumptions or time frames. To put exact dates on things that old without irrefutable evidence reminds me of the Leakeys, et. al. When facts are supposed to guide science, why so often does science try to guide the facts? It seems that the hardest thing for a scientist to say is "I don't know."IMO.
