Zip - i mean really, you're going with "the Bible can't be trusted" argument? What ridiculous hogwash. Old arguments that just don't hold water, pun intended, debunked many times over.
The Bible is the most reliable ancient document in the world, period. No other ancient manuscripts hold a candle in terms of number of extant manuscripts, validation against other historical texts, archaeology, validation when compared against itself, internal validation, etc. No other document has been criticized as much and come through with shining colors as the Bible.
If you throw this kind of silly doubt at the Bible, then you have nothing on which to base any view of ancient history, for the rest of antiquity is pieced together with the barest pieces of surviving literature, as compared to the treasure trove that is the mountain of flawless manuscripts of the Bible.
By the way, Jesus reference Noah specifically, as did other New Testament writers. He's mentioned there as a man to admire. So yeah, if Jesus believed in the man who built the ark and, together with his family, survived the global flood, then so do I.
Lastly - you don't have to just look at the Bible for evidence of a global flood. It's documented by various cultures around the world in ancient documents outside the Bible - or maybe you don't consider them reliable either.
