For those who still insist a global flood happened......where are the bodies? There shoud have been BILLIONS of bodies after the flood and we shoudl still be finding the skeletons today. We should have found entire cities filled with skeletons by now.....there should be places where water washed them all together and formed literal reefs of skeletons. I mean skeletons from all the people on earth AND all animals.
Yet there has never been a finding of mass skeletal deposits like this.
Why do you think that is??

Joseph...so skeletons from millions of years ago don't decompose, yet ALL of the ones from the "flood" did??
Give me a break

Also, if there were a global flood with no land in sight, I would have to guess the water above Mt. Everest, and if it was, why didn't they freeze or were did the oxygen come from the high altitude. How about Mt. Ararat, that's high altitude as well with freezing temperatures, how about evidence of the Ark, it's less than 6,000 years old, there should be something left, & for over 40 years; people have been looking for the Ark, as well as planes, satellite photo's, still, they're is nothing, and for the people who say there was evidence, it was proven fake.

We do...they're called fossils.
One would expect to find far more fossils of animals and plants than humans, because if you remember in the beginning, there were only two humans and millions of plants and animals. By the time of the flood 1600 years later, there could have been anywhere from several hundred thousand to a million or more humans. The reason why we don't find too many pre-flood human bones is because humans are intelligent enough to find a way to stay afloat until the last minute, and then they would drown, and their bodies would float and rot, and not be buried by the sediment. Likewise, we also do not find very many pre-flood ape or bird fossils, because apes will also climb to the highest point until the last minute, and birds will fly around until they run out of gas. Either way, they avoid being buried by the flood sediment, and their corpses rot before they can be preserved. In order to be preserved as fossils, their bodies must be buried by sediment quickly. Today, we do find massive fossil "graveyards" where swirling eddies of dead animal bodies were buried.
As far as pre-flood "cities", we know that cities are made up of dwellings; but the pre-flood atmosphere was perfect and there was no rain, snow, etc, which means people wouldn't need to live in houses for protection from the elements. If there were no houses, then there would be no cities.

If there was a global flood, it was millions of years ago, and even the skeletons would have decomposed by now.
Modern Scholars think that this was a local flood, one that just covered the known world at the time. It could have been a massive flooding of the Dead sea.
Remember, that a million or so years ago, the World was a smaller place and all the continents were joined together in one place, so at that time, a global flood would have just washed away the gathered lands.

Because a global flood never happened.
LOL...sorry, but questions like this always need a few people answering with the obvious truth, even though that's not really what you're looking for. You want the insane fundie theories, and indeed, they ARE entertaining.

were you not aware that Satan plants the fossils to make people turn away from God???
lol It's a myth.. their idea of the "world" consisted of the middle east.. while there are evidences of localized floods.. there is no world-wide flood as presented in Genesis.

God preferred that they turn to dust, who knows maybe so that other generations might start fresh and not fear the wrath of God.
The ways of God are many times a mystery.
Blessed are those that believe and do not see. << Faith
