The problem is that the original flood story is a myth.

But the biggest problem is that such a flood murders the sinners and the saints. If you believe in the flood story, that is fine. But how can you honestly believe that one man and his family were the only good people on the entire planet?

Not to mention, Noah was weak. The first alcoholic on the planet

The problem is that the original flood story is a myth.

You misspelled allegorical account of an historical event. You probably couldn't look past the embellishment.

One good solar flare or supervolcano eruption is all he needs...

All he really needs to do is to stop supplying reality. A computer simulation is an excellent analog. Game over.

Too many people believe it is an actual, historical account. Of course, that involves ignoring some facts we now know.

That's a subjective statement. How many is too many?

Keeping in mind I'm not one of the "too many" which facts would that be that we now know?

He's already got the democratic party working on ignoring reality.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

For starters, that numerous animal species would not have been saved because they were on other continents.

And also, there is not enough water on the planet to cover it all.

I believe it's embellishment intended to make the account more memorable.

All of the continents were not established with man or animal yet. The earth was still very young.

About the water....There is more water than meets the eye.


Genesis 8:2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

Are you saying that the flood of Noah was a historical event?

The flood, if it happened, was around 4,500 years ago, at most. The continents were in place and the animals were there.

 

[WinterBorn]

Are you saying that the flood of Noah was a historical event?

I believe he is saying it was a local event and expanded through allegory to make it a better story.

 

[surada]

I believe it's embellishment intended to make the account more memorable.

It was based on a flood of the Euphrates river Basin in 2900 BC.

Er you're pining for an Extinction Level Event? You need to tell your doc that your meds aren't working.

Well there is evidence of a flood event in the Black Sea. Memories of that could have been passed on.
