The Genesis flood is said to have happened when, 4300 years ago?
Close enough.

The article, which I found interesting, thanks, places an Earth water world 4 Billion years ago or so.
WHEN it happened isn't the issue though, so much as the fact that we are both putting the Earth under water at one point in its history.
When it happened, how it happened, why it happened, etc. isn't so much the issue as: "it happened."
Something you denied.

So you would think that if science could discern a water world that long ago that if it actually happened they could find evidence a Biblical Flood that would have happened only 4300 years ago.
This is news to me too, lamberth.
I believe the Earth was covered with water, based on zero evidence, and my interpretation was apparently correct.
I don't know what scientists are seeing back there that's making them come to this conclusion, but they must be seeing something.

But no such evidence is there to be seen.
And do I have to repeat myself that that is because the evidence was ordered off the Earth in Genesis 8, as attested in Psalm 104?
It could be they are seeing the Earth during Day One of the creation, before God ordered the single landmass (Eden/Pangaea) to come forth, BUT as the article stipulated:
The history of the Earth is like a book with its first chapter ripped out.
So they can't be seeing that.
Who knows?
I personally think science is too myopic to be able to make a judgement call.
But keep in mind YOU said:

Where I'm looking at is the Earth itSelf. The Earth can't lie. The Earth shows absolutely no sign of a Global flood, so it didn't happen. It's pretty simple.
And you just may be wrong.
