It's all highly likely, isn't it?
Water levels cannot change unless there is melting glacier ice. That's pretty much it. There's been previous Ice Ages. The end.
Noah's story, though, is ridiculous.
God punishes all humanity, barring Noah and his family. That's immediately very fair.
Then, somehow, every land-based creature on the planet is rounded up and stuck on a boat, but the flying creatures and the various aquatic animals are fine. Again, how very arbitrary.
Somehow these animals manage not to eat each other and then reproduce when back on land in a fast enough manner to allow for the rapid re-population of the planet.
Who would want to worship a god that wipes out animals for no good reason other than to punish a creation that he gave free-will to in the first place. The Bible is not a coherent set of stories as well-educated, unblinkered, non-selective people realise. It's got some brilliant sections, but this element of Genesis is tripe and a bad image of the supposed divinity.
Yes.
