If Noah's flood happened....?

Question

Then should it have been covering Mount Everest fifteen cubits to spare? And no geological record has been found for such a massive flood?

And yet, you assume that there're fossils on mountain tops because of the flood, should they have been washed away?

LOLOLOL!!?!?!

You did not know about mountain building and the geological processes that can raise fossil-bearing, sedimentary rock strata to great heights

You mean a 29,028 feet mountain could change its height in a few thousands of years?


LOLOLOLOLOL?!!!?!?

Thank (insert your deity here), people could, as an attempt to brainwash, make up thousands of scientific-like stories. The Bible for an example

Answer 1

Luckily for us, we can look at the evidence and logically conclude that it didn't happen...Unfortunately for them, they must take their conclusion and find pseudo-evidence to support it.

Answer 2

It's not meant to be taken literally. Like many bible/religious stories, it's a metaphor. It was most likely adopted (borrowed) from the ancient Babylonian "Epic of Gilgamesh".
The concept being that God can wipe out the earth if mankind doesn't live by his rules. It's also a story of rebirth and redemption. I'm a Christian, but even as a boy, I had a hard time accepting bible stories literally.

Keep in mind, Babylon (present day Iraq) lies between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It's quite likely that the rivers have flooded over the course of history. To ancient man, it would have seemed the entire world had flooded.

Answer 3

As far as Noah knew the whole world was flooded. Who knows how Noah got his info concerning the scale of the flood. Certainly not satellite radar. Is there even enough water molecules in all the atmosphere to cause such a flood? I think more important than if the whole world actually flooded is if Noah was divinely inspired the build the ark. A massive flood, enough to convince Noah the world was consumed by it, doesn't seem to far fetched.

Answer 4

Every mythology has a flood story so floods must have happened. I mean think about it floods have always happened for all cultures at one time or another. There is lots of geological evidence of floods in one region or another, core samples tell us clearly of this fact. A world wide flood? Yes, it happened all over, just not at the same time. Its a matter of perspective, not a matter of fact.

Answer 5

first, there is no "If" the flood happened.

fossils ARE evidence of the flood.

If you study the RIGHT books, you will discover mountains of writings from scientist who believe the flood DID happen,based on the science that they say proves it.

but why study ALL the FACTs, when you can just fall for what some say.

my advice, think for yourself and you will learn. Let others think for you and you may as well not even have a brain.

Answer 6

For some strange reason they left that one off this list of the worst natural disasters in history.

Yes, most cultures have experienced floods, just not at the same time.

Cultures tend to establish communities along rivers for a number of reasons, food, transportation, trade, protection from invaders. For this reason about every culture has experienced devastating floods.

There is absolutely no evidence that supports a worldwide flood. It simply could not have happened.

If you look at the story for what it teaches us about trust in God, you will see that it is extremely relevant to our lives today.

Whether it actually happened or not is the least relevant aspect of the story.

Answer 7

Actually, there's not even enough water on Earth to cover Mt. Everest by that much. Even if you melt both of the polar ice caps, we don't flood the planet by that much. There's just not enough of it here.

Answer 8

Mt. Everest itself would have probably had it's height changed by the flood itself, meaning it could have been non-existant, or shorter, or taller at that time.
You question begs more study.

Answer 9

There "ARE" geological records that support the fact that thee was a massive worldwide flood... (alls ya gotta do is look in the right place)!

Answer 10

here some links to answer your question the flood did happen cause God was upset about sin. and he was going to destroy the earth except Nola because he was righteous. he did not sin as much. the rainbow stands for Gods promises to never to destroy the earth again.

Answer 11

to the best of my knowledge there has been no archeological digs at the top of Everest. are you aware of one that nobody knows about. If not, then the evidence may be there but not yet discovered.
