There is no scientific proof for a worldwide flood, sure there are lots of ancient cultures that have myths of such a flood, because guess what, floods occur all over the world.

What if you lived in a primitive culture, centuries BC, and a flood like the tsunami of 2004 occurred? Stories would arise about the big flood, oral traditions about it would develop and everytime it gets a little more embellished, our whole village was flooded, entire villages were flooded, the whole country was flooded, the whole world was flooded and at that time someone writes it down, some cultures experience other floods and the same things happen. So this is the most likely story of how myths about big floods around the globe have evolved!

But if you ask scientists if there is any proof that the entire world was flooded at one time, nope, sorry.

The most probable flood that created the myth in the bible, as I've read somewhere, is the flood that created the Black Sea.
