Nearly every culture talks of a worldwide flood event. Sea creature fossils on top of Everest.Who said that it was only regional?...Then why would god order Noah to take 2 of every animal, if all the animals weren't going to drown because the flood wasn't worldwide as many posters here contend?
Some people think it was a regional event, that when the people of Biblical times talked about "the world", it really referred more to "the world as they perceived it". Which is a reasonable argument, since the Bible is pretty obviously written in some places through the perspective of primitive people who knew very little about the science of the universe.
Can't say as I think it changes the point of the story one way or the other.
