As one claiming to possess a 'high view' of Scripture - presumably accepting it to be the divinely-inspired text that it is - you appear to lean heavily on Babylonian mythology in concluding that "fountains of the great deep" (Gen.7:11) merely refers to a system of "irrigation canals". It is really most illuminating to witness the lengths to which some are prepared to go to defend the popular belief that the Mabbul was a large flood local to Mesopotamia.
Well, Vern, it certainly wasn't global, so if it wasn't local, then I guess it just wasn't.
