Is there any proof of a Global Flood, has mentioned in Genesis?

Question

I ask because, even though I am not religious, I know that historically and geographically the Bible is accurate and I also know that through out the world there are myths of a great flood in many cultures and religious beliefs and stories of a great flood that have been passed down generation to generation……But is there any Geological or scientific evidence?

Answer 1

There is actually quite a body of evidence that supports this event.

First off, as the "mighty conquerors" went out to bring Christianity to the uneducated natives all over.... the one story that they were amazed everyone knew was the story of the great flood/ deluge.
Guess the natives were not so stupid after all huh?

Secondly, there has been at two Discovery Channel series aimed at the Great Flood. In one of them they showed video of the top of the tallest hill on the island of Malta in the Mediterreanean. It had been scoured clean by something and the evidence points to a wave of water slamming into it. That 'hill' is over 400 feet tall and Malta sits south of Italy.

Thirdly, it is just too much of a coincidence that everyone seems to know about it for it NOT to be true.


Lastly, the Babylonian flood story predates the Israelite story by several centuries, that story was written in 1700 B.C.E. That story of Marduk is probably the source for the Israelite one later that gets written down in the Torah and winds up in the Old Testament which was written in 1350 B.C.E.

So much for it begin Noah.............. :p

Answer 2

I'm a Christian who has no problem with evolution and all that.

The geologic evidence does not support a global flood. The Mediterranean Sea did catastrophically break into an area that was below sea level and form the Black Sea recently enough that it may play a role in the development of the Genesis Story. Although I'm not obsessed with "literal" interpretation like the fundamentalists, I do believe that the Bible tells us what we need to know to be right with God. I believe the story of the Great Flood accurately tells us what God's criteria would be for destroying the world. If you actually read the Old King James version, it does not simply say that the world became evil. What it does say I find quite interesting, especially in light of some things reported by UFO/alien "experiencers.".

Answer 3

The evidence is the fact that a variation of the story turns up in different cultrues all around the world. For example: Atlantis is the Greek version, Mu is the version from the Australian Aboriginies. Putting it in into context, there was obviously a massive flood, but we all know that anyway - it was the end of the ice age! The time that UK was cut off from France - best day ever!!

Alright - being serious, the end of the ice age would have led to a major redrawing of the world map. A lot of the land would have vanished underwater, leading to stories of lost civilisations and the displacement of people fleeing floods, which would probably account for the story spreading so far and becoming vastly more exaggerated. We see similar thing happening in more recent history - for example, King Arthur and even in well documented history. Look at Elizabeth I. THe reality and the myth. I love the woman, I am her biggest fan, but I do recognise that a lot of the things attributed to her personally were due to the fact that she had Lord Burghley and such a good team of ministers behind her. I got a bit off the point there, but I hope it illustrates my meaning.

Answer 4

There is evidence of localised floods, such as in the Fertile Crescent. In those times tribes may have believed that Sumeria was the whole world.
Creationists estimate that the flood in Genesis occured around 3000-2000 BCE, though the Chinese, and Egyptian civilisations thrived during this time, along with many others.
There is a lot more evidence against Noah's flood, such as the size of the earth and the number of species of the earth.

Answer 5

I read once they thought they had found the remains of the Ark on a mountain in Turkey. Don't know how true or accurate that is.
There is some geological evidence that suggests there was a flood. Based on rock formations and mineral deposits.
Have a look at the History channel and its website, you will get some real resources there.

Answer 6

There is no proof of a world wide flood and they have tried to find some. There is proof of regional wide floods which could account for many of the myths.

Answer 7

There is evidence of several major cataclysmic events that piont to something like what happened in the flood. Remember, that the story of the flood has many different variations in many different cultures.

Answer 8

History and Geography aren't Science!

There is no scientific evidence.
Just think about it first, a flood covering the whole globe would have to cover Everest. There just isn't the volume of water. Never has been!

Answer 9

Yes there is actual proof as much as I hate to say it. There is geological proof that a flood of that maganitude existed. But nothing about a damn boat.()
