There you go, here is the essence of why you hold the beliefs you do. How you get past such beliefs is near impossible once they are rusted into belief, and it's probably not going to happen. The Flood of Noah has been dismissed completely and utterly by science, sure there are a tiny group of pseudo-theological science types who won't stop picking this scab but that's okay, there are still flat-earthers around as well. Does an adult living in 2024 need a peer reviewed paper to tell us that the dead do not reanimate and that a flood as described in Genesis is impossible to firstly occur and then secondly, the world would never recover from such an event and look like it does today. The story is so preposterous and has no bearing on the reality of either God or Jesus. On top of that it comes from the scriptures of Moses, the scripture of the Jews, not Christians. John 20:29 Is not telling people to suspend their disbelief. It is not telling people to believe something that impossible and not literal, so this does not support you. This is for those who never saw Christ but found Him through His Teachings and believed. Those who love God though they will never see Him and believe. Those who believe when they hear the truth of the Words of Jesus and believe.

I believe the flood, resurrection, parting of the sea as literal events regardless of current scientific understanding. "would have never recovered" - according to the Bible it did. John 20:29 - yes you are a 'Thomas'
