Oh, so now you're allowed to post links that have no references? No, if you won't accept as evidence any sites that do not have references to outside sources then neither will I accept as evidence any sites that you post which do not have references to outside sources.
Secondly, you stated your definition of higher ground is 'higher than the grand canyon.'
Fact: The Grand Canyon is 2,091m above sea level. I checked in Arizona, where the Grand Canyon is located, what is higher than 2,091m above sea level and lo and behold there are only a handful of mountains that are higher than the Grand Canyon. At this point we go back to the original mountains question that you have raised with your theory. If they went to higher ground, the only higher ground would have been... the mountains!
If everything below the mountains were flooded, how long would it take for the water to subside? Half a year? A few months to be generous? How does everyone live in a small location when surrounded only by water? Let's forego the part where would be no vegetation to eat as they would be living only off water.
All the remaining survivors are stuck together, humans and animals, friendly and wild alike. Do you even know what happens when you are stuck in a large crowd with nowhere to go? Add in the fact there is no food to eat, only water to drink. There is no shelter or beds either. Do you honestly think everybody will live in harmony for the next few months?
I tell you the truth, the wild beasts would have killed and hunted the remaining survivors, be it animals or humans. They all go hungry and kill to eat. The humans, especially the males, would not have been able to spend time alone. They would have fought each other and it would have been total chaos. When they fight this time, they cannot walk away from it all because there is nowhere to go. Living only off water makes you hungry, hungry people are cranky people and cranky people are more prone to fight.
I tell you the truth, even if they survive the flood then they almost certainly would have never survived the aftermath.
