1. in the dictionary, science is defined as "The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena" so it is not limited to your definition thereby casting the first half of your post into doubt.

2. I don't think that anybody actually believes that the Great Flood covered the entire world. I actually accept the theory that Noah lived somewhere east of the Crimea at about the time that the Bosporus broke. this caused drastic flooding along the shoreline of the Black Sea as is evident in the sunken villages that have been excavated over the past few decades.
