Yeah, it's lame. But a worldwide flood occurring during modern man's history is plausible, even though no evidence exists to support it? A worldwide flood would leave behind physical traces of its occurrence. It would show up in past erosion, and in the fossil record for the proposed time period; ie the GEOLOGIC RECORD. However, no evidence like that exists. Years ago I was into archaeology and I was given a set of three books, what they were about I did'nt know at the time, only that they had archaeology written on the front. On examining these books I discovered they were in fact books that used science in support of the Bible, one was archaeology, another was geology and the other I forget the discipline. I remember reading in one of these books that the Earth has shifted on it's axis due to the fact the Earth is not a sphere, but in fact an oblate spheroid, it has a large eccentric mass roughly where Russia exists. I Believe this planet is still not spinning on a true axis, but is in fact cavitating around a true axis. Anyway, at some point the earth shifted on it's axis, that kind of movement would be felt, fluid would move where it will in response, so it would cover land, a flood. There is also fairly recent findings to suggest that sea water rose sharply to a height of some five hundred feet in the Black Sea area, and there covering around 60, 000 square miles of land around 7500 years ago, so catastrophic floods have happened, who says that they have not happened in man's lifetime ? Noah's flood might have been this flood, how old is the Old Testament ? Why drill holes in big rocks I don't know what these books actually were since you provided no identifying information but your claims based on them are wrong. A shift in the earth's rotation would have no effect on the seas since the movement of the axis is a smooth progressive affair. The earth doesn't stop rotating and start rotating around a new axis. The Black Sea flood is not the source of the Babylonian flood story that the bible story is based on. More than likely the tales origin lies in an unusually bad spring flood of the Tigres and/or Euphrates. As to Ron Wyatt's assorted and sundry claims, it is simpler to point to a thorough debunking than to bother going over all the outright lies and deceptions even on that single page.
