There was global flooding around 12,975 years ago. But Noah's flood was around 4,252 years ago, so it would have had to be more of a local flood. All though Noah's flood could have been caused by a glacier lake. As the ice melted there are natural dams that hold back the water for a while, but eventually break. Even today with global warming that is a problem in various parts of the world. As the ice melts it forms into a lake, but as more ice melts it can turn into a flood at any time.

Nice picture but no relevence. Noah's flood was global so the 12 thousand plus time figure was probably Noah's flood, but of course, the timing is off. Noah's flood was not caused by glaciers. This is how it went.

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

John's a Gapper. That might put his year old comment in context.

I am also a gapper but do not see how that changes the date of the global flood that was in Noah's time.
