As an aside, do you believe that Noah's flood was worldwide? Almost no OEC that I know of believes that it was.

Thanks for the clarification, and yes, I do believe in a worldwide, global flood, because it was a supernatural event, just as the 10 plagues were supernatural events, along many other events in the Old Testament.
Having said that, the belief that the flood was limited to the "known world," or where all humans resided (thus wiping out all humans except Noah and his family, as the Bible says), is plausible in my mind. But it actually makes more sense to me that god caused the deluge to cover the entire planet, rather than a limited area.
