Is the Floods just a myth, or did it really happened?

Answer 1

Myth, as is all the rest.

Answer 2

The Great Flood couldn't have POSSIBLY happen in the way that the Bible says it did. If it DID, then WHERE did AL the water go? To "flood" the enitre Earth with water would have meant a layer of water ALL over the planet 62,000 feet deep. That's an amounty of water that would form a ball 1/3 the size of the moon. that's a lot of water to clean up with a sponge, and where would you put it? Remeber, the OCEANS were ALSO covered with an extra 62,000 feet of water as well. It didn't evaporatge either, that much water vapor would make our atmoshpere THOUSANDS of mile thicker, it is not. It didn't get turned into ice because then the Earth would be covered by a 100,000 feet thick layer of ice ALL over the planet. The Bible simply does NOT account for all the water from the Great Flood in ANY way whatsoever. I "miracle" of THAT proportion would CERTAINLY be noteworthy enough to have made it into the Bible. Yet it doesn't exist in any way, whatsoever.

Answer 3

Of course floods have happened before. But if you mean the flood as described in the Bible, that is just a myth. There were probably some big floods in the Middle East that the myth is based on, but none that flooded the whole world and washed wooden boats up on the side of Mt Ararat.

Answer 4

Well even if the floods happened in an atheist way they sure did happen.
Imagine a rock as big as they say hitting the earth.
See what I mean, if it was big enough to wipe out the dinosaur then I'm sure it flooded the earth as well.
But I could be wrong since I wasn't there.

I do wonder how any one of you would feel if you were God and you were always being bothered to prove yourself, would you just keep proving yourself day after day or would you finally give up on worthless humans?

Answer 5

The world wide flood of the Bible is just a myth. However, that myth may have some basis in fact of a regional flood. The same story is in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Answer 6

Floods over the known world of primitive cultures at the end of the last Ice Age occured as the glaciers melted away. There is no evidence of a true global flood.

Answer 7

Of course this is a matter of faith, but there are some interesting views for the intellectuals.

If there was a world wide flood, perhaps there should be a common story in many cultures worldwide.....

Gilgamesh
The Gilgamesh epic is not a Babylonian fairy tale, although it is the way it is translated,but an actual historical document which Moses consulted and translated into Hebrew as
part of his record we know as the book of Genesis. “Gilgamesh” is viewed by scholars as a proper name and no attempt is made to translate it, but a closer examination suggests that it is in fact a title. No competent Sumerian scholar can honestly deny once it is pointed out to him that "gilga" occurs in the Sumerian expression "pa gilga ia" and is
commonly translated by scholars as "my fifth great grandfather" where pa = fore; gilga =
father; ia = five; my. Anyone with a real knowledge of Sumerian and other ancient languages should also
recognize, once it is pointed out to him that writing characters in the opposite direction was a common way in all of the most ancient languages of indicating a person who had
gone to the netherworld [i.e. MESH=SHEM]. For example, we have an ancient Greek vase of Orpheus and Eurydice: The name of one of them is written in the opposite direction as a way of saying that this person had descended to the underworld.

Thus we have Gilgamesh = "the father of Shem," or in other words, Noah.

Answer 8

One flood, covering the whole earth. It really happened. Why do you think there are fossils in the desert? How do you think the Grand Canyon formed? There is evidence for a flood everywhere if people care to see it.

Answer 9

It is fully proved by evidences by geological studies and a fossilised form of Arc has been discovered in Turkey near borders of Syria. And interstingly all of us are using one symbol from the time of deluge, i.e. pigeon with olive leaves. u know why : when Noah was sending his pigeon everyday to look for dry land, it was returning everyday without any information. One day when it returned it brought some leaves of olive in his beak. Then Noha knew that it has started drying. So uptil know we belive olive as a symbol of piece and pigeon with olive in its beak so...

Answer 10
