I dont say there was a biblical flood, the bible does.
So you say noah, while building an impossible to build ark (it's evern impossible using then available materials with todays technology) also travelled to every continent and island populated by humans to preach? Presumably he also coaxed the animals to leave the environment in which they can a survive to go live in a semi desert and spend a year in a wooden boat.
You are welcome to your belief.
And you are welcome to yours. It's fine if you you don't say there was a flood, but if that is your stance then don't argue against the character of God using the flood as if it did occur or as if you have looked into the account and have understanding. Just as you have no way of knowing whether God (you don't believe exists) acts on a whim, neither can you know whether or not Noah had the materials or ability to build the ark, what the environment was like before the flood, or how the news was spread to others during the 100 year period. Even secular science supports the idea that the continents of today were once joined as supercontinent having split and drifted apart.

The Bible supports and mentions this...
Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. Genesis 1:9
To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 1 Chronicles 1:19
The difference is the timing, but scientists who believe in creation, along with secular scientists, agree that there is good observational evidence that is consistent with an original supercontinent that was split apart, and that today’s continents moved to their present positions on the earth’s surface.
And according to the biblical account, Noah did not coax the animals, it states that the animals came on their own...
Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. Genesis 6:20
