but absolutely ZERO evidence for a worldwide flood.
The problem here is people today assume the people who wrote the Bible understand the world as we do today. They knew nothing of North and South America. For them, the middle east and Europe was the world. When they talk about a worldwide flood they're not talking about Brazil or Canada.

That's fine. That story was written by barely literate desert nomads (at best).
It is when modern day conservative american Christians try to spin it as the LITERAL WORD with no understanding of science, history, context, translation, etc.

By the time of the New Testament, India and China were known to the Roman world, and there was intermittent trade. Some postulate that early Christian thinking was influenced by Buddhist philosophy.
