It odes?  Who says so?  Seems like only you and few other crackpots.  The overwhelming majority of Geologists disagree with you and since that's their job and not yours, I'll stick with their version.

If such a God existed, unfortunately for your hypothesis, there is no evidence whatsoever that such a God exists or ever has existed.   

The Bereshith account, does not describe a "natural disaster" and the only myth

Not to mention that any such "outside intervention" would have had to be 
on a scale rather different and orders of magnitude larger than they 
imagine.  This alleged outside agency would have had to import a 
planet's worth of water in order to drown the Earth entirely.  Then it 
would have had to magically remove all that excess water.  And after 
that this mystery agency would have had to go around removing all 
evidence for such an intervention.
