And for science, questions are always the starting point. The goal is evidence. If the best someone has are "questions," ask them for evidence. If they don't have evidence, it's not your job to answer their questions in defense of science.

“God did it” is the ultimate ace in the hole.

It’s been stated that flooding that would lift the Ark above the highest mountains would make the air so humid it would be impossible for anyone to breathe.

Only, it wouldn’t. God did it.

Makes me wonder if one can debunk something that is 100% bunkum?

In most cases, it’s not debunking that’s the challenge. It’s deprogramming.

When I was a kid, my mom would refer to long-ago events as "the year of the flood". I used to ask her when this flood was, but I don't recall ever getting a concrete answer. I assume it was just a local term referring to the Ark "flood".
