Zone1 Do other ancient culture myths support the Great Flood spoken of in the Bible?

[alang1216]

A small upwelling of the sea floor from pressure beneath would cause worldwide flooding. The water would recede when the upwelling abated.

Has this ever happened before? What is getting upwelled?

 

[alang1216]

The correct depth/height of the flood was about 16 feet higher than the people on the highest hill.

Which hill is that? Everest? Ararat?

 

[Woodznutz]

Has this ever happened before? What is getting upwelled?

It may well have happened many times, based on geology.

The sea floor, "the fountains of the great deep".

 

[alang1216]

your religion is making an opinion based on the assumption it happened over millions of yrs and has yet to provide any concrete evidence for its claim,,

but you already knew that,,

Not sure I follow. Are you talking about evolution or the Flood?

 

[alang1216]

It's the embellishment aspect that you can't get past.

It is not an embellishment to Woodznutz, they believe it is literally true.

 

[Woodznutz]

Which hill is that? Everest? Ararat?

The high hills where people lived. "All the high hills* were covered, fifteen cubits upward."

*Mountains is not the best translation.

 

[alang1216]

it still right where it was,, "deep"

Woodznutz claimed, if I have it right, that there was upwelling in the deep that raised sea levels. If that is the case there was less 'deep' at the time of the Flood or there would be no upwelling.

your religion is evolution so which do you think??

"less deep"??

what does that even mean??

it doest really matter since coming from the deep doesnt change the depth of the deep..

 

[alang1216]

The high hills where people lived. "All the high hills* were covered, fifteen cubits upward."

*Mountains is not the best translation.

So this flood was local, not global. People who lived in Tibet at 14,000 feet were not affected?

was tibet at 14K ft when the flood happened??

 

[Woodznutz]

So this flood was local, not global. People who lived in Tibet at 14,000 feet were not affected?

The flood killed everyone except Noah's party.

 

[alang1216]

it still right where it was,, "deep"

So there was 'upwelling' and then 'downwelling'?

 

[alang1216]

was tibet at 14K ft when the flood happened??

If the Flood happened 6,000 years ago, the evidence says yes. The Incas also lived at altitude.

 

[alang1216]

The flood killed everyone except Noah's party.

So the waters rose to at least 14,000 feet? That is a lot of water, almost 3 miles deep over places like Florida.

So there was 'upwelling' and then 'downwelling'?

beings that we are talking about biblical accounts the water rose from the deep,,

you can make up any name you want for it you would like,,

did they??

you havent provided proof 14K existed

 

[Woodznutz]

So there was 'upwelling' and then 'downwelling'?

The sea floor rose, the land was flooded, then it fell, and the flood receded.

 

[Woodznutz]

you havent provided proof 14K existed

Or that the Tibetan plateau was occupied at that time.
