Is there geological proof that the whole earth flooded? as stated by Noah?

Answer 1

First of all, I am not of any religious group. But I have read of two possible locations where searchers believe they have found Noah's Ark and related evidence. One area is said to be on Mt. Ararat in Turkey;the other in Iran. One internet site was National Geographic. If you use Google and type in "Noah's Ark found in Mountain" you can read about it and judge the evidence for yourself.As I read more about it, there are many conflicting opinions, but a very interesting topic to explore further.

Answer 2

nearly every culture has a Deluge myth, Hindus have Satyavrata who was warned by a fish to build a boat before the great flood, Babylonians have King Xisuthrus whose story is almost identical to the Hebrews Noah, Zeus almost annihilated ancient Greece with a flood.
In Giza rain erosion on the sphinx and traces of the water of the Deluge and the effects of the waves are still visible on the pyramids halfway up, above which the water did not rise." Add to this the observation made when the Pyramid was first opened, that incrustations of salt an inch thick were found inside. Most of this salt is natural exudation from the chambered rock wall, but chemical analysis also shows some of the salt has a mineral content consistent with salt from the sea, when waters surrounded the Great Pyramid, the known and unknown entrances leaked, allowing seawater into the interior, which later evaporated and left the salts behind.
Scientists believe the great coal deposits of the world are the transported and metamorphosed remains of the extensive vegetation of the antediluvian world. This catastrophic interpretation is further supported by the presence of polystrate fossils in coal beds which indicate rapid formation. Also, the type of plants involved and the texture of these deposits testify of turbulent waters, not a stagnant swamp. ... human skeletons and artifacts, such as intricately structured gold chains, have been found in coal deposits.

Answer 3

There have been several floods that covered a lot of area, but were still limited when looked at on a global scale. If you lived in one of the areas that got flooded, I'm sure it might have seemed that the whole world was covered with water. Certainly your part of the world was.

I have read somewhere that an inventory of all the available water on the planet, oceans, rivers, lakes, polar ice caps, glaciers, etc., is not enough to completely cover the whole earth.

The seashell on mountain tops were deposited when the mountain tops were ocean bottoms, before tectonic activity made them mountain tops.

The Bible isn't the only book that mentions flooding. The Epic of Gilgamesh from around the 7th century BC mentions a flood. Actually, there are several places where the Bible seems to have been inspired by the stories in this epic. Where were the copyright laws when you needed them?

Answer 4

No. The reason there are seashells on mountain tops is because many mountain tops were once below the ocean and were thrust up into the sky due to geological forces. Anyone who has studied basic geology knows that.

Some creationists maintain that the fossil record itself is proof of a great worldwide flood: dead animals scattered across the Earth in a fairly uniform manner. This idea, however, fails to account for the various strata in which fossils are located. Fossils of ancient plants and animals are in lower strata than the fossils of more recent plants and animals. The only way to explain this is by understanding that the creatures whose fossils we have uncovered died during various ages when geological activities were different, resulting in different strata or levels of soil.

Creationists try to claim that the different levels of fossils are due to the fact that heavier creatures, such as dinosaurs, sunk farther to the bottom when drowning, while lighter creatures stayed afloat longer and were buried higher up. Of course, anyone with any real knowledge of the fossil record can see this is ridiculous. Some of the oldest creatures in the fossil record, those buried at the lowest levels, are also the smallest, like the trilobyte, for instance. The "heavier creatures sink to the bottom" hypothesis completely falls apart if you take all these smaller creatures into consideration. Besides, doesn't it seem improbable that not even a single heavy creature would have managed to float to a higher strata and get buried "out of his level"? Body weight as an explanation for the fossils found at various strata is preposterous.

Answer 5

In high mountain tops there have been found fish, clam, etc. fossils. Also prehistoric animals have been found in ice. Also any thing dated millions years old are before flood. When there is water, lightening, volcanoes, etc. and things fossilize they will date very old.

I am still waiting for someone to find a before flood human.

quote from book: Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation by Dennis R Petersen.
Near Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada (1973), tree roots were fossilized in moments when a high voltage line fell. Scientists at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, were asked what the results would be if these specimens were dated by KAr. (Potassium Argon) They said the test "would be meaningless; it would indicate an age of millions of years because heat was involved in the petrification process."

Before flood earth was one continent, people lived nearly 1000 years. There was a big earth split where water broke through at time of Noah's ark. Also at time of Babel earth divided, water, and earthquakes,etc... After Babel people rarely got to there 200 yr birthday since it was so catastrophic.

Answer 6

The whole earth didn't flood. It was the known world at that time according to Noah. That was basically all around the Black Sea. The Ark then landed on Ararat, this is Turkish for big mountain, not the name of a specific mountain.

Answer 7

A few months ago, I saw something that documented the evidence found that proved the great worldwide flood actually did occur. I did not keep the documentation nor note where I saw it. I wish that I had. That way I could provide the source.

The following statements that are written in this column are false: "Except for the location of Palestine (now misnamed "Israel"), none of the claims of locations and events in the bible has any veracity or evidence.

The Jews were never in Egypt, Nazareth didn' t exist 2000 years ago."

It's too bad that people make false statements and actually believe they are true and expect other people to believe them too. Then they are offended if somebody stands for the truth. Is it wrong to stand up for truth or is it better to let people believe a lie in order to keep peace?

Answer 8

According to the history channel there were several catastrophic floods but also the hebrew word for earth and land is the same word and there are actually a few diff versions of this story one of which was discovered on an ancient clay tablet in iraq

Answer 9

Except for the location of Palestine (now misnamed "Israel"), none of the claims of locations and events in the bible has any veracity or evidence.

The jews were never in Egypt, Nazareth didn' t exist 2000 years ago, Ramses did not have a half brother, etc. ad infinitum.

No reputable historian has ever claimed that a jeebus crispy can be proven to have existed. Many of said reputable historians *believe* there was a jeebus, but none claim there is substantiated proof.

Answer 10

to disguise the finished Earth? no longer in the way Noah's flood is defined. I easily ought to remark about this: nicely, theoretically, one drop of water might want to disguise the finished planet in case you spread it skinny sufficient. that's does no longer be real - it will be less than some molecules in step with sq. mile possibly (a guesstimation). surely, the info factors to the water that formed the Black Sea breaking through the Straits there being the in all probability source of the tale of the flood - no longer a global flood.
