Does the flood mean that God was the first to use a weapon of mass destruction?

Question

Anything used to kill can be counted as a weapon. Even looks.

Answer 1

A flood can be a weapon. But it appears there was no god just a bit of land forming a natural dam to the mediterranian to a low land area where the balck sea is broke down due to rising sea levels.

The effect would be like many niagra falls flooding an area bigger then france... Which if you never travelled fart would appear to be the world

Answer 2

The flood story is found not only in the Bible but also in Sumerian texts which predate the Bible by hundreds of years. The event itself is believed to be the refilling of the Black Sea around 8000 years ago after the Mediterranean Sea had dried up. Once the Med refilled to the point of breaching the Bosphorus the water flooded over as a massive waterfall which refilled the Black Sea to its current level in only a few years.

To the peoples living around the ancient shoreline of the Black Sea this was a catastrophic event which meant they had to rapidly relocate to new areas. The ark may well have its origins in the fleets of boats that sailed away to find new homes. Each would have had breeding pairs of animals and seed crops to start again. It is easy to see how this would become the legend of the world ending flood.

The actual event may be geological but the legend is found in so many cultures as a warning it must have created quite a memory in the ancient peoples.

Mother Nature or Gaia has plenty of ways in which she can cause mankind problems but short of a supervolcano erupting none are really weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 3

Just a bit of detail on the flood for you....Extent of the Deluge. This was no local flash flood or cloudburst. In fact, the Greek word used in the Bible to refer to the Flood, or Deluge, is ka‧ta‧kly‧smos′, a cataclysm. (Lu 17:27, ftn) Local floods come and go in a matter of days; this one lasted over a year, the greater portion of which was required for the water to subside. How unreasonable to believe that Noah spent perhaps 50 or 60 years building a huge vessel of approximately 40,000 cu m (1,400,000 cu ft) for the survival of his family and a few animals through a mere local flood! If only a comparatively small area was affected, why the need of bringing into the ark specimens of “every living creature of every sort of flesh” in order to “preserve offspring alive on the surface of the entire earth”? (Ge 6:19; 7:3) Definitely this was a global deluge, the like of which had never occurred before nor has since. “The waters overwhelmed the earth so greatly that all the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens came to be covered. Up to 15 cubits [c. 6.5 m; 22 ft] the waters overwhelmed them and the mountains became covered.” (Ge 7:19, 20) “The end of all flesh has come before me,” Jehovah said, hence “I will wipe every existing thing that I have made off the surface of the ground.” And it was just so. “Everything in which the breath of the force of life was active in its nostrils, namely, all that were on the dry ground, died . . . only Noah and those who were with him in the ark kept on surviving.”—Ge 6:13; 7:4, 22, 23.

Answer 5

Does a flood count as a weapon

Answer 6

There was no flood. But for arguement's sake that it did, God's used a lot of bioweaponry, aka plagues to wipe out people.


Cause you know, diseases ONLY happen to evil people who turned their backs on God, just like being burnt to a crisp, and drowning in a flood.

Answer 7

If you believe in God then yes and this was not his first time using Weapons of Mass Destruction! God apparently stated he was a jealous God. so he wiped out everyone but Noah and his family. God used all different forms of weapons of mass destruction to wipe people out. Look at when moses asked to let his people go. lots of people died because God wiped them out. look at Sodom and Gomorrah. God actual incited people to go to war. It is all in the bible. read it. I am only naming a few instances.

There are flood tales of different areas traceable to different floods, rather than a single earth-wide one.
