The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

What is the difference there?

Pedantic.
One claims that the lifeless peak of Mount Everest was covered with water, and the other claims that the water only rose high enough to cover the local mountains ... but both claim a worldwide flood.

True, I have never heard of a local flood rising over any mountains, that's due to Gods promise to Noah

Once again trying to make the opposite of a worldwide flood be a purely local one. If you have to do that...it doesn't speak very well for the strength of your own theory. I think that's what they call a strawman argument, in fact.

How is there room for something in between. Was there a really high high-tide that covered only one side of the earth for a whole year?

Exactly my point! Albion discourages from calling it a "Local" flood but also discourages from calling it a "Universal" flood... I'm no scientist, but I imagine if even the smallest mountains were covered 15 cubits over the peaks it must have had a world wide impact.
