Submit your ideas for critical peer review............... You could end up famousYep. Just as the the Tower of Babel is the allegorical account of the migration from Mesopotamia.Indeed the flood is now perfectly accounted for. You may submit now your doctoral for peer review.I am glad we settled that. Thank you.Why do you keep saying a water world? I’ve never said that. That’s what you think the flood account means. I have been extremely clear that the flood account is like any other flooding event. It rains, it floods then it runs off. The only difference is that this wasn’t an ordinary flood. Floods happened all around the globe because 1500 gigatons of water was added to the atmosphere. Specifically, the stratosphere. Which is what happens when an asteroid strike releases energy equivalent to 1500 gigatons of TNT in water or a glacier. In this case it was a glacier. Not to mention there appears to be a second impact site. So my explanation that the flood account captured a real event that occurred ~12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age and caused a mini ice age is founded in science, logic and reason. No wonder you need to keep misstating it.
>>The allegorical account of a flood in Genesis was not describing the earth being covered in water 3.2 billion years ago. It was describing an event that happened ~12,000 years ago when one or more asteroids struck the earth in the northern polar region and vaporized 1500 gigatons of ice which disrupted weather patterns around the globe which led to flooding events around the globe. The globe was not covered in water but it was enough of a major disruption of weather patterns that legends of it were created around the world.<<
I had to go search the original post. The above is what you stated. Okay, so you said NOT 3.2 billion years ago, but ~12K yrs ago is when asteroids struck the Earth. As for the rest, it doesn't sound very convincing nor something found in Genesis . Let's just agree to disagree on your allegorical interpretation of the Bible. Frankly, I don't even understand the science.
It is a perfect explanation for not only the flood account in Genesis but the flood account that every ancient culture had. This wasn't some ordinary flood. This was cataclysmic flooding which occurred all over the globe because there was a major climate disruption.
There is a reason every major culture in antiquity has a flood account. It was noteworthy and they passed down that knowledge as stories. These stories were passed down for thousands of years.
