All of the ice pack remaining in Antarctica and on Greenland would only raise the oceans 400 feet, if completely melted. Does that mean that there were no mountains higher than 400 feet, under your scenario, and that all the high mountains and other higher lands have arisen since?
Also, what about all the animals that require desert climate? They can't tolerate high humidity. Likewise with most desert plants. They can't tolerate high humidity, and die in such conditions as you postulate. Where did they come from?
And what about the coral atolls? If they were suddenly flooded, the corals would have died, as they need to be near to the surface (within a few hundred feet).
And, perhaps most importantly, we find only certain kinds of plants on some continents (cactus-like euphorbias in Africa, for example), and similar habitat plants that are very different genetically (true Cactus, for example, that only grew in the Americas before Columbus' day) on other continents. Did Noah travel around to each of the continents, after the waters 'receded' and showed the continents, depositing only Euphorbias in African, and only Cactus in the Americas?
