Drowning is said to be relatively painless, but we highly fear it. As a species, we were around, thinking, before the end of the last ice age. Not advocating belief in past lives, a lot of "us" might have drowned, once upon a time.
Myths, with apologies to the scientists, are part of what we use to try to explain what we cannot understand. Sciences are their better half.
I don't believe that the land, since it formed, has ever been all covered at once, although large parts of it have gone under for long periods of time and will probably do so again, before and after us arguing.
Noah's ark, et al are exaggerations at best, lies at worst, and a struggling to believe in between. More power to us!
