The people of Noah's day had never even seen rain, so the idea of a flood was completely foreign to them.
[See also posts further down in the same thread, agreeing with the idea that the Flood was the first time it ever rained.]

Genesis 2: 5-6
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
This is where they get the "it never rained" from. But they fail to note that this was before man was created either. It doesn't say it never rained up until the flood. Just didn't rain in the garden.
I assume in a world that is only 6,000 years old, and where dinosaurs live alongside shepherds, that this isn't as completely insane as it would be otherwise (since the insanity is completely enveloped in the first two assumptions).
There was no rain for the first 1,656 years? Does that mean there was no evaporation from the oceans, either? Otherwise, where did the evaporated moisture go? The earth would have been like the surface of Venus.
@grig
The spice must flow!
So if it didn't rain that means water didn't evaporate to form rain. So if water didn't evaporate that must mean that there was no sunight. So if there was no sunlight there wouldn't be any wind, so with out wind...ah fuckit, I'll stick with science.
Oh, didn't you guys know? God had a protective layer of ice around the earth to protect it from dangerous UV rays. That's why Moses lived to be eight hundred years old, or some shit like that. Then, when Noah built the ark, God melted the layer of ice with his laser beams and that's what caused the rain. *rolls eyes*
Even more amazingly, these people had never seen a boat, it's amazing how they built one bigger than the titanic, out of (nonexistent) raw materials, and got it right the first time.
@Old Viking
