You explaination pales when set aside the geological and historical evidence, Doug. Read below:

Earth in Upheaval, by Velikovsky, pp 51-54 from the chapter called Tidal Wave
Fissures in the rocks .. all over western Europe, are choked with bones of animals, some of extinct races, others, though of the same age, of races still surviving. The bones .. are mostly broken and splintered into innumerable sharp fragments and are evidently not those of animals devoured by beasts of prey. The Rock of Gibraltar is intersected by numerous crevices filled with bones. The bones are broken and splintered. The remains of panther, lynx, caffir-cat, hyena, wolf, bear, rhinoceros, horse, wild boar, red deer, fallow deer, ibex, ox, hare, rabbit, have been found in these ossiferous fissures. On Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily the broken bones of animals choke the fissures in the rocks.
The state of preservation of the bones indicates that the animals, all of them, perished in the same period of time. No hardened animal feces were found, indicating that the dead beasts had not lived in these hollows or fissures. No teeth marks of hyena or of any other animal are found in the osseous mass. The bones are those of animals of all ages down to the fetus, nor do they show traces of weathering or exposure.
The extremely fresh condition of the bones, proved by the retention of so large a proportion of animal matter, shows that the event was, geologically, comparatively recent. The fact that animals of all ages were involved in the catastrophe shows it to have been sudden.

Worlds in Collision by Velikovsky, pp 134-138 from the chapter called Ambrosia & Milk and Honey
The Maoris of New Zealand tell of fiery winds and fierce clouds that lashed the waters into tidal waves that touched the sky and were accompanied by furious hailstorms. The ocean fled.

The 12th Planet, by Sitchen, pp 401-409 from the chapter called When the Gods Fled From Earth
Drilling into the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, scientists have been able to measure the oxygen trapped in the various layers, and to judge from that the climate that prevailed millennia ago. Core samples from the bottoms of the seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico, measuring the proliferation or dwindling of marine life, likewise enabled them to estimate temperatures in ages past. The last ice age ended in the southern hemisphere some 12 to 13 thousand years ago.
The text uncovered by Ebling provided calendarial information. The Deluge, it informs us, occurred in the age of the constellation Lion. Although astronomers nowadays cannot precisely ascertain where the Summarians set the beginning of a zodiacal house, the following timetable for the ages is considered accurate. The Age of the Lion ended in 8,700 BC.
Dr. John T. Hollin of the University of Main contended that the Antarctic ice sheet periodically breaks loose and slips into the sea, creating an abrupt and enormous tidal wave. An immense tidal wave, starting in Antarctic waters, spread northward toward the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. The abrupt change in temperature must have created violent storms accompanied by torrents of rain. Moving faster than the waters, the storms, clouds, and darkened skys heralded the avalanche of waters.
Exactly such phenomena are described in the ancient texts. The Epic of Gilgamesh reads:
With the glow of dawn a black cloud arose from the horizon, inside it the god of storms thundered. Everything that had been bright turned to blackness. For one day the south storm blew, gathering speed as it blew, submerging the mountains. 6 days and 6 nights blows the wind as the South Storm sweeps the land. When the 7th day arrived, the Deluge of the South Storm subsided.
How could the extraterrestrials predict when the Deluge would burst out of Antarctica? The Mesopotamian texts, we know, relate the Deluge and the climatic changes preceding it to the periodic passage of the 12th Planet in Earth's vicinity.
