Is there any hardcore evidence from scientists of a "Great Flood" having happened?

Answer 1

There is more evidence that it didn't happen. If we add enough water to cover even the tallest mountain, that means that the mass of the earth would change so dramatically that our Earth's orbit around the Sun would have been dramatically scarred. We would not have such a small foci distance in our elliptical orbit. (perspective: If you are about 1000 feet above sea level, then there would be 28,000 feet above water above you. Mt Everest is 29,035 feet high)

Another fact is that we have steel ships that get severely bent along its keels when passing along the bottom of South America. The waves there are so big because the reach is so large. Reach is the length that a wave can travel and grow before it hits land. With no land to stifle these waves, no wooden boat could remain afloat. Let alone a large wooden boat.

Answer 2

Not really hardcore evidence I think. But there are several theories about local floods that could explain the stories about a great flood that circulate in several cultures/religions.

Answer 3

the best evidence for Noah's era would be the Black Sea flood of about 5500 years ago. The Black Sea area was once a large, lower-than-sea-level valley (like Death Valley and the Dead Sea area), but a quake opened up the area near today's Istanbul, flooding the area and creating the Black Sea.

Answer 4

The Grand Canyon?

And according to some, mountains are a recent phenomenon, which might have begun AFTER the real Great Flood. [which looks like it happened before humanity came along.]

Answer 5

A program airing on the Discovery Channel talked about the Biblical Flood being a regional event and not world wide as believed. To the people of the time, it would have seem as if it was world wide.

Answer 6

The evidence itself doesn't actually leave any room for debate. People who claim otherwise either lack knowledge of the facts, or wilfully refuse to acknowledge the obvious conclusions that such evidence points to. Obviously, among real biologists, there are none who are uneducated. The latter category are pretty rare among credible scientists as well. They have to resort to citing park rangers as sources, as well as simply lying, because the truth is that the scientific community reaches their conclusions based on the evidence.

Answer 7

No, there is no evidence. It defies a multitude of scientific laws. Furthermore, there never will be any evidence, because the "Great Flood" is fairy tale marketed for adults, not an actual event that took place.

Answer 8

none. because there was no global flood. Local flood, maybe. global flood, no. Covering the highest mountains on the world, certainly not. Do some volume calculations and you'll realise the idea is preposterous.

Answer 9

If you read Science Journals. no.

If you buy books at the local Bible Book Store, they will tell you differently, but they are not scientists.

You can also find books that tell you snakes can talk (Garden of Eden).

Trust the scientists.

Answer 10

Nope, only small local floods.
