The Burckle impact crater in the Indian Ocean created gigantic tsunami waves, that pushed megatons of seafloor up onto Madagascar. The vaporized ocean probably made it rain for weeks far away from the crater. Anyone close to the Indian Ocean would have been killed, and many people would have perished in the weather that followed the impact.

It would have been about 6000 years ago, just about right for the Flood.
God could have easily caused the impact and worldwide super rain storm- proof that the Bible is again correct. Noah and his family were warned and survived. You don’t have to discount science when reading the Bible, and you don’t have to discount God when reading science.
Or a meteor could have caused the flood and men wrote about it. One such book that contains the story is the Bible. The Bible is a book written and printed by men. That we know.
Everything biological is in the proper sequence, and everything geophysical and astronomical (atmospheric, oceanic, vegetation, formation of the seas & continental drift, clearing of the atmosphere, formation of matter, energy, light, and the stars & world itself - and visibility of the stars & moon - is correct.)
Creation even details that birds (dinosaurs) came before mammals.
