	Flood (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the flood, Noah sacrificed from the pure animals and God promised to never again destroy the Earth as a whole with flood waters, since man is born with an evil inclination from youth and God commits himself to maintaining the rules of nature.
		Proponents of Flood geology contend that the myths from various cultures are corrupted memories of an historical global deluge.
		Other scholars believe that the Genesis flood myth is actually a later version of the story, which was based upon earlier Mesopotamian myths (including the Epic of Ziusudra, the Epic of Atrahasis, and the Gilgamesh flood myth).

	Abiogenesis and the Origin of Life
		According to Genesis 6-8 and the Biblical chronology, approximately 4500 years ago there was a global flood that destroyed all terrestrial life on earth, except for those which were stored on the ark by Noah and his family.
		The flood is said to have been caused by a forty day rain that was accompanied by an upsurgence of subterranean waters lasting for one hundred and fifty days (chronology of the flood).
		It is believed the majority of the glacial development, known as the ice ages, formed during the flood, and was responsible for land and ice bridges allowing the post flood migration of animals and humans into regions that are now completely isolated by water (i.e.

	Was Noah's Flood Local or Global? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Global proponents claim the flood created organic deposits in order to avoid the accepted view that they took millions of years to form.
		There are other points concerning the flood that could be discussed, but through this brief discussion it seems that the most literal and consistent interpretation of the flood account is that of the local flood.
		The local flood is consistent with geology and contains none of the glaring problems and contradictions of the global flood view.

	Problems with a Global Flood, 2nd edition
		There is evidence of similar flooding in the Scablands of Washington state (from the draining of a lake after the breaking of an ice dam) and on the far western floor of the Mediterranean Sea (from the ocean breaking through the Straits of Gibralter).
		A year long flood should be recognizable in sea bottom cores by (1) an uncharacteristic amount of terrestrial detritus, (2) different grain size distributions in the sediment, (3) a shift in oxygen isotope ratios (rain has a different isotopic composition from seawater), (4) a massive extinction, and (n) other characters.
		Flood myths are fairly common worldwide, and if they came from a common source, we should expect similarities in most of them.

	Global Flood
		There is much evidence for a global flood including evidence from geology, archaeology, ancient legends, catastrophism trademarks, biblical consistency, evidence of Noah’s ark, and from Jesus Christ Himself.
		In general, the credibility of the worldwide flood story in the Bible is supported by unrelated facts that support the truth of the Bible.
		Before the flood, it may have never rained and instead, a mist watered the surface of the earth.

	Was Noah's flood global or local?
		Genesis 7:11 states that "all of the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." It is apparent from Genesis 1:6-7 and 2:6 that the pre-flood environment was much different from that which we experience today.
		The clearest verses that show the extent of the flood are Genesis 7:19-23: "And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
		God did instruct Noah to put two of every land animal (aquatic wildlife was excluded) onto the ark (Genesis 6:19-22) with the exception of ceremonial clean animals and for all birds, of which he was to have seven of each kind on the ark (Genesis 7:2-3).

	Can Creationists Fit the Flood in a Geologic Framework (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		It is important to note that the idea of a global flood (Noachian variety) was actually the favored explanation for the fossilized strata observed by geologists in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		This is important because Northrup seems to imply that the climate was equable prior to the Cenozoic and the geologic record speaks clearly and unambiguously that it was not (Hoffman et al., 1998).
		His first global catastrophe falls against the weight of the evidence beginning with the assertion that the Archean and Proterozoic are void of life as shown in his time line.

	The Genesis Flood: Why the Bible Says It Must be Local
		If the flood were global, there would be no place for the waters to recede to.
		The first part of the verse is a promise not to exercise universal judgment by means of a flood, "all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood." The flood, although local in extent, was global in judgment, since all humanity lived in the same locale.
		Your assignment at this point is to re-read the Genesis flood text with the words "land" or "people" (depending upon the context) substituted where for the word "earth." When you are finished, you will discover a remarkably different flood account than what you have read before.

	Global Flood Geology
		Possibly the ending of the flood was not a sudden thing but a slow decline of activity producing localized flood conditions over many years after the world wide flood.
		If evolution is correct, or if the flood is only recorded as a small portion of the geologic column, we would expect the paleocurrent data of any fossil site to reflect where they were in a valley and what the direction of the wind and/or water was.
		Either the beginnings of the flood is entirely destroyed by later activities of the flood and their is nothing left, or, just maybe, the Precambrian may represent some early activity of the flood.

	Global Flood
		The turbulence of the flood was supposed to be so great and yet world-wide, microscopic animals are sorted vertically through the various layers of the geologic column.
		This is important because global flood advocates believe that the fossils are sorted according to the laws of hydrodynamical sorting.
		One is correct to say that the flood could not sort everything perfectly, yet if the geologic column was built up by a 1 year flood, that is exactly what you must say happened.

		Even if the Flood could have achieved such results in one place, it could not possibly have done so all over the world. The average thickness of fossil-bearing rock throughout the world is about a mile.
		How floating shells could be effectively sorted by their hydrodynamic properties I do not know, but the predictions of a hydrodynamic sorting model are blatantly inconsistent with everything about the distribution of shelled cephalopods and other fossils... The fossil succession of ammonoids having distinctive shell sutures is clear in the first appearance of each group...
		Even more paradoxically, for Flood geologists, is the fact that the juvenile (young) specimens, only a few centimeters in size and with much thinner shells, co-occur with the large, thick-shelled mature specimens of the same species.

	Does Scripture require a global Flood?
		If the Flood did not cover the world, then it did not lay down the world's sedimentary rock, and therefore this rock must have been laid down slowly over long periods of time.
		And in Genesis 6-10, the context is one of a global Flood!
		For example: the local flood theory logically implies that the Indians in North America, the natives in Africa, the Scandinavians, the Chinese, etc., were not affected by the Flood.

		Therefore, if the fossils were themselves laid down during a catastrophic flood, there are, it seems, only two choices: (1) the salt layers were themselves laid down at the same time, during the heavy rains that began the flooding, or (2) the salt is a later intrusion.
		Such a mass of water as the flood would have provided sufficient buoyancy to float the polar caps off their beds.
		The model seems to say that large numbers of kinds of land animals became extinct because of the flood, while Genesis repeatedly says that Noah was ordered to take a representative sample of all kinds of land animals on the Ark to save them from extinction, and that Noah did as ordered.

		This demonstrates clearly the global language in the first term "earth" in Genesis seven does not have to be interpreted globally by virtue of its own literal meaning.
		He is using global language identical to Genesis seven in reference to the regional destruction of Judah in 586 B.C. If proponents of a global flood were consistent, they would teach global destruction accompanied the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. It is impossible to overlook the linguistic similarities to the Genesis flood.
		It should be clear from this discussion a denial of the global extent of the flood does not deny the historicity of the event God reveals in Genesis 6-9.

		If the flood depth was 29,050 feet (348,600 inches) and the water level dropped 4 inches a day, it would take 87,150 days to get back down to normal sea level.
		If we view the flood as global, then we must (if we are consistent) apply that same usage in other places were the same words and phrases are used.
		If there had been a global flood, it would have set civilization back to the Stone Age and it would have taken centuries to recover what was lost.

		And this assumption is generous to the evolutionists — the article Ligers and Wholphins shows that many “kinds” could even each be the ancestors of a whole “family”; if so, then only 2000 animals would have been required on board.
		Isaak claims that the Flood account in Genesis is self-contradictory, apparently ignorant of the standard Ancient Near Eastern literary practice of making a general statement, then elaborating on specifics.
		In fact, there are thousands of global flood legends around the world, even with the Native Americans, New Zealand Maoris and Australian Aborigines.
