The reason the flood stories are so common is because when the ice from the ice age melted it would have flooded much of the known world. There actually was a flood.

Yes, of course....it all goes back to Hinduism in one way or another...the Hindus probably have it more right than all the others put together. They even explain the "big bang" as a Brahman night....very deep, very mystifying, and very ancient. Yet we are constantly amazed at intelligence shown by religions other than our own. Christians seem to be the most amazed, well other than Muslims, that is.

Yes of course, Noah wasn't a Jew, he came a long time before so of course other religions had the story.

the fact that the story exists in more than one form shows it is true
in a lot of ancient cultures, there are references to a universal flood
just because the Bible explains it in a different way doesn't mean it isn't true

There are several stories like that, which occur through-out history, even before monotheistic religion. If anything, it lends creedence to people who follow religions as metaphorical.

You are referring to the great epic "Gilgamesh" a Sumerian story that the babylonians adopted. Great read
