Hint: You don't need to be a Creationist to see the evidence of a global flood. This is basically antisemitism against any belief.
Secular people see the evidence of a global flood themselves, but several don't want to believe it's true just because it is written in the bible.

No, it is not true because all the evidence in the world, quite literally, makes it impossible to have ever happened and points to it never happening.

No, you need to believe in fairy-tales to see the fictional evidence of a global flood, as there's no evidence whatsoever.
Antisemitism is specifically against Judaism, i.e. the Semite people. You can't use it against just any belief.
I couldn't care less what fairy-tale book it's written in, whether Bhagavad-Gita, the Bible, Hávamál, the Quran, an L Ron Hubbard novel, or in the Swedish book Surrounded by Idiots* by "leadership-coach" Thomas Erikson (describing the pseudo-scientific DISC method of defining people by four colors). There's still no evidence in favor of a global flood.
* A clear case of "If you feel that everyone around you is an idiot, there's a risk that it's you that are the idiot".
"...don't want to believe..." because we are not all geologically illiterate.
Almost everybody has had a flood story, and Noah's was by no means the first. But "global" in his day meant "as far as I can see", so only a small area if he told the truth . And like any good fish story, or like Grandpa's tale of the blizzard when he had to walk to school "and it was uphill, both ways", the snow got deeper or the rain got worse or the fish got bigger every time the story was told.
"Hint: You don't need to be a Creationist to see the evidence of a global flood."
Actually, you really do. The global flood is very crucial to the creationist model of Earth's history. They NEED the flood, so they see the flood. Those without a vested interest in the flood don't seen any such evidence.
"This is basically antisemitism against any belief."
No. Bigotry is an irrational stance taken against all evidence. Asking for your evidence for the flood is not bigotry. IF you had any, and offered it, and we still rejected it, then maybe our reason for rejecting it might be based on bigotry.
But since you don't have evidence, we don't see that in our rejection....
"Secular people see the evidence of a global flood themselves, but several don't want to believe it's true just because it is written in the bible."
Uh huh... That's why secular historians say Ancient Egypt never existed. it's mentioned in the Bible, and no one likes that, so we just made it mythical like Atlantis. Sure. That's how history works. And Rome never occupied Israel, same reason.
Confused?
