If I remember correctly, the original creation myths (including Christianity) are all based on the idea of a world of water from which land rises.

The idea of the flood suggests a new beginning.

In Christianity the flood is the second covenant with God (i.e. Hey Noah... I kind of screwed up with humanity. I need a do over. I like you though and I like my animals. Here's the deal, you save the animals in and you get to be my chosen one. Deal?"
