If you actually drilled down you'd find its just a story,
never happened.

until you notice the world wide evidence for it.

So you figure the polar ice was like frozen,in place it didnt float
the way ice usually does

Polar ice caps and lime stone on top of the world's mountains - Another evidence for world wide flood.

Since you are from China - ancient word for boat points to Noah's flood with 8 people and a boat.

chinese hieroglyph for large boat - is 8 people and a boat on water.

That " why" question is so cliche.
There's a lot in the world besides day and night,
God and atheism.

So cliche also is the "there'd just be another".

"Nice diversion".
And the auto - assumption that i lack
intellectual integrity. YOu think about it. Thats exactly what it is.


The ark - people defend it all the way across the spectrum,
from 100% fact (God says so) to 100% metaphor to the middle
with a local flood and a farmers raft.
And they can "explain" every one of them.

I do t believe there is any explanation for a false
story in a True book that does not bring the meaning of
"TRUE" into doubt and disrepute.
But-
If you have the answer, share it.
Look up Dr Walt Brown, who was at one time a Christian evolutionist. This is how he prefaces his book, "In the Beginning".

"This study began unexpectedly in June 1970. I was a Christian, an evolutionist, and a new professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy. I heard surprising claims on the radio that Noah’s Ark rested near the 14,000-foot level of Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. If a gigantic boat had ever been at that elevation, a huge flood must have occurred."

"However, the biblical flood was always hard for me to imagine. After all, where could so much water come from? Where did it all go? Every attempt I had heard to answer the first question was shallow at best. Few, if any, ever tried to answer the second. For two years I pondered these issues, reading most of what was written about claimed Ark sightings and talking with many “Ark hunters.” Almost daily I gazed up at 14,000-foot Rocky Mountain peaks and tried to imagine, at one of their summits, an object large enough to fill a football stadium. The case for the Ark’s existence grew stronger as many of my questions were answered."

The book is a substantial work that has a great deal of detail and explanation. It is not a light bedtime read, but I could follow the arguments. Rather than try to give a superficial, therefore unsatisfactory, answer, I suggest that you read Dr Brown's book yourself. It is available as a free download in .pdf format or as a fairly expensive printed publication.

This is mentioned in Walt Brown's book. I'd forgotten this. Thanks for bringing it up.

I haven't looked into that, but this is interesting.

Are Polar Ice Sheets Only 4500 Years Old? | The Institute for Creation Research (icr.org)

Off the top of my head I would guess that some polar ice would have floated but some would have remained firmly attached to the earth. Although polar ice is somewhat buoyant there would be little upward pressure on large masses of ice that were attached to the earth.
