97. If you're not anti-science, consider the science of a flood that drowns the world:

It would leave obvious geological features. Nothing like that has been found. We have continuous ice core records that show each year, going back far before the supposed date.

We have found trees that were alive from 4,800 years ago until the 20th century - from before the supposed date of the flood.

It would completely mix saltwater and freshwater. Whatever the salinity that this had, it would either kill the freshwater or saltwater creatures - osmosis makes it impossible for nearly all creatures to live in both.

Plants would mostly have been wiped out by a worldwide flood.

We have written evidence of at least 2 separate languages (in Egypt and Mesopotamia) from before the supposed date of the flood, and the writing systems both survived to after that date. This fits neither with only one family surviving the whole event, nor with the biblical story of the tower of Babel.

Others have pointed out the impossibility of collecting pairs (or more) of all species around the world.

The genetic variation in the human race cannot be produced in the time after the flood (and that's ignoring the pictorial evidence that it also existed before the supposed flood date).

The species that only came from one pair would be hopelessly inbred.

Archaeological evidence from all over the world shows continuous inhabitation through the supposed date of the flood.

And so on. We could go on for hundreds of pages about the scientific evidence against any worldwide flood anything like the one in Genesis.
