America is prophesied about in Daniel, as were specific events surrounding the Medo-Persian Empire, Greece, Rome, and the Roman Catholic Church. Weird, but true.

The water evaporating into the atmosphere would not have been enough to get rid of it all, but if it instead became trapped in the mantle, that would explain a whole lot.... except for how they knew about something that happened a few million years before man existed...-Nothin much to say on the Sino thing. As for the water in the mantle--I quote: "It would still look like solid rock to you," Wysession told LiveScience. "You would have to put it in the lab to find the water in it." The only way to extract this water would be to--you guessed it--heat it to 5400 degrees Farenheit, a temperature at which it would fire out of the earth and directly into the atmosphere. -Analyzing your claim, if we added 30% more water, it would still be mathematically impossible to cover the entire world with it. -1.37Bn km^3 is the current volume of the ocean, melting the ice caps gives us another 24M, (1.61Bn km^3). 24M adds 67m. At this stage oceans are only 67m higher; so lets add another 30% to THAT number. 
1.61*0.3 = 483M km^3. that is about 2.1x the original estimate of 67m putting sea levels up an extra 143m. 143+67 = 210m above current levels. -I live in Omaha NE, and we are 332m above sea level. 332 is greater than 210, so we still can't even flood Omaha, much less the earth, even in the worst case scenario of an additional 483Mkm^3 of water. -There is simply NOT enough water on earth to flood the entire earth.
[EDITED]
For the nail in the coffin: Enough water to bury Mt. Everest. 
Mt Everest is 8,848m above sea level. For every 67m of sea level rise, we need 24M (M = million) water. 8848/67= 132. So to cover Mt. Everest, we need 24*132= 3169 million or 3.169 BILLION km^3 more water. If you see the above statement, we estimate the volume of the ocean at 1.37Bn. So, we need about 2.2 times more water than currently exists. -This is not possible.
