Wow Lakookta cotex is your boy.
Exactly. These guys cannot comprehend a being that exists outside of the space-time universe our brains are limited to perceiving.

These atheists and secularists have very low moral standards
Sumer told the story.
Of course, there are multiple versions of the story, as would be expected as descendants of the survivors passed it along.
The Euphrates river floods in the spring with snowmelt from the Zagros mountains and spring rains. Or, it used to before modern dams. That's what built the delta south of Basra.
Sometimes the floods were severe.. it's very flat between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
That's where the epic flood stories come from.
The Bible geanology means the earth is 6000 years old.
Noah's flood is a morality tale, not history.
How would you know?
Because geology doesn't support a worldwide flood. ..read the story of Gilgamesh. It was recorded on clay tablets in Sumer, Dilmun and Ras Shamra a thousand years before Abraham.

Ziusudra, in Mesopotamian Religion, rough counterpart to the biblical Noah as survivor of a god-sent flood. When the gods had decided to destroy humanity with a flood, the god Enki (Akkadian Ea), who did not agree with the decree, revealed it to Ziusudra, a man well known for his humility and obedience. Ziusudra did as Enki commanded him and built a huge boat, in which he successfully rode out the flood. Afterward, he prostrated himself before the gods An (Anu) and Enlil (Bel), and, as a reward for living a godly life, Ziusudra was given immortality. See Utnapishtim.

There is a geological record of a great flood in the Middle East in ancient times. There are incidents in the Bible which correlate to historical events, including the Great Flood, Herod's census, and the Star at the birth of Christ - thought to be Haley's Comet.
Yeah, but creationists want to claim that fossils of marine life found at the summit of Mount Everest are the result of a global flood!
What flood in the Middle East are you talking about?
There was no census..
What year was Haley's comet?
Halley's Comet: Facts About the Most Famous Comet
The comet's frequent recurrence has played a part in historical events for millennia.
The first known observation of Halley's Comet, or Comet Halley, took place in 239 B.C., according to the European Space Agency. Chinese astronomers recorded its passage in the Shih Chi and Wen Hsien Thung Khao chronicles. Another study (based on models of Halley's orbit) pushes that first observation back to 466 B.C., which would have made it visible by the Ancient Greeks.
When Halley's returned in 164 B.C. and again in 87 B.C., it probably was noted in Babylonian records now housed at the British Museum in London.
"These texts have important bearing on the orbital motion of the comet in the ancient past," a research paper in the journal Nature noted about the tablets.

It's also thought that another appearance of the comet in 1301 could have inspired Italian painter Giotto's rendering of the Star of Bethlehem in "The Adoration of the Magi," according to the Britannica encyclopedia.
Halley's most famous appearance occurred shortly before the 1066 invasion of England by William the Conqueror. It is said that William believed the comet heralded his success. In any case, the comet was put on the Bayeux Tapestry — which chronicles the invasion — in William's honor.
Astronomers in these times, however, saw each appearance of Halley's Comet as an isolated event. Comets were often foreseen as a sign of great disaster or change.
Even when Shakespeare wrote his play "Julius Caesar" around 1600, just 105 years before Edmond Halley calculated that the comet returns over and over again, he included a now-famous phrase sepaking of comets as heralds: "When beggars die there are no comets seen; The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes."
DISCOVERING HALLEY'S COMET
Astronomy began changing swiftly around Shakespeare's time, however. Many astronomers of his time believed that Earth was the center of the solar system, but Nicolaus Copernicus — who died about 20 years before Shakespeare's birth — published findings showing that the center was actually the sun.
The Nag Hammadi Codices is a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts, mostly translated from Greek into Coptic, originally written between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. The Coptic Codices themselves are dated to the 4th and 5th centuries AD.

Proof of the Great Flood.
Yes, Noah's Flood May Have Happened, But Not Over the Whole Earth | National Center for Science Education
Introduction The Bible (Genesis 6–9) describes a worldwide flood (the Noachian Flood) covering even the highest mountains of the earth and the construction of a huge boat (a rectangular box-like craft) that transported animals, at least two of a kind of all land animals on the earth.
Here is a BBC piece on the Star.
The piece on the flood says nothing about Noah.
The Old Testament is basically the religious history of the Jewish people. The Great Flood was incorporated into their history in the story of Noah and God seeking to cleanse the world of its iniquity as a rational explanation for natural forces over which they had no control.

That is a rational explanation, but religious nuts insist it happened exactly as depicted in the bible. That's batshit crazy.Proof of the Great Flood.
