Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
I couldn't have gone underground. Hell - a very hot place that's not about to freeze over any time soon - is situated underground. In that case the water would come up again as steam.
But that would be to mess with the peoples free will, we can't do that could we, that would be wrong. Instead, God gives people free will and kills them with extreme and brutal force when they do not behave as God wants them to behave. Big difference, much more moral.
It's impossible to reconcile the psycho old testament god with the long haired peacenik free will version of the new testament. Thats why its called faith.
... and that's also why the modern day fundamentalists (as well as the relic hunters of older times I suppose) twisted desire to find proof and logical explanaitions for everything is so absurd.
In order for the water to have gone underground, it would have needed to displace trillions upon trillions of tons of molten rock. Even aside from the problem of the huge quantity of steam that this would have released, there's still the problem that water is not denser than rock -- you can't displace molten rock with water without applying a tremendous amount of pressure to the water, pressure that would have crushed the life out of every living thing on the planet.
The problem is that the flood myth was based on a flat earth, where the water level could be decreased by simply raising the flat earth back above the waters of the firmament. However, as all but a few die-hard fundamentalists admit, the earth is a spheriod -- disposing of 50 times the current quantity of water on the planet is not so simple when you don't have an infinite ocean underneath you.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see
HAVE A DAY.
<--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
