As usual, I would expect a comprehensive answer from a Christian.
He is in mourning. He just found out his God no longer exists because Eric ate him:

"God can't exist because of Eric The God-Eating Magic Penguin. Since Eric is God-Eating by definition, he has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Eric doesn't exist, God doesn't exist. Even if you can prove that Eric doesn't exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities - either you can prove that Eric doesn't exist or you can't - in both cases it logically follows that God doesn't exist."

Belief in a mythical figure from ancient scripture causing scientists to be deceived concerning evolution is about as bizarre as you can get. I can see that you believe that everyone who does not believe as you do is deceived by Satan.

How long would a person spend thinking
about. " flood" to come up with that?

Does religion sometimes make people
crazy or is it vice versa?

I think, in fact, that religion quite often forces people to search for -- and often accept -- any plausible explanation for phenomena that incorporates their core belief, and to reject explanations, no matter how well justified, that do not. Thus, it is necessary to reject abiogenesis and evolution because they do not include "God created the world." The beginning of Genesis 1, unlike the scientific theory, does include God, and that makes it sound much more plausible, in their minds.

For the same reason, it is very difficult for the religious to accept death. They have never "experienced" death -- none of us has, nor possibly can, because death includes the absence of all experience. This is therefore unknowable and unthinkable, even when they are asked "what were you doing 5 years before you were born?" And therefore the religious notion that there is something of us that survives death gets incorporated. Whether this survival is in a heaven, or in a "land of shadows" or Hades, or repeated reincarnations hardly matters, but most religions have some version of it.

"Plausible" is the wrong word.
Try " specious".
