Up till now, the science I'd read supported the conclusion that there was never a time in earth's history when all of the land was submerged.
This report in Science Daily presents evidence that in fact the whole earth was submerged some 3.2 billion years ago. The question can't be regarded as settled, but the possibility is interesting.
Were there aerobic microbes who built, or formed, a large raft and stocked it with viable colonies of other aerobic kinds of the day?
Do microbes have ancestral memories? Can those memories be transferred to humans, so that these truly ancient heroes are the foundation of the Flood stories?
Well, no, there weren't and they don't and they can't and there isn't.
Still, it's curious that there may have been a real Great Flood, however far back.
