this Eighteen Minute Geography lesson kicks the shit out of any Global Flood Myth that is out there.
Global flood....not local flood
As we all know there exists flood myth in a large number of cultures both current and historic....and in most of these cultures the myth was about a local flood.
the frustrating thing is when a person takes the stance that at one time in our nor too distant past a global flood was put upon the earth due to the vengeance of a higher power.
if a person wants to make the higher powers out to be delusional psychopaths fine...but don't include innocent science in the twisted tapestry of bullshit.
i think that these videos just about sum it up in the most succinct and concise ways possible.
if there is an ommision or aggregious error in this post please feel free bring to light any and all new information that you may have to correct my understanding of the science
Part One
;D Part Two
;D

I always thought the whole flood myth sprang from the flooding caused when the land bridge acroos the entrance to the Red Sea colapsed causing a huge flood of the major parts of what was the civilisation.

Good vids. So in effect a global flood on the people in that area which is confined to the Mediterranean basin! The biblical accounts are after all a history of the people in that area, the middle East and the Jews primarily.

Exactly, most written history is from that area, the people of that time considered that area the whole world.
The other explanation I suppose would be the rising seawaters as the ice from the last ice age melted away.
The idea that God flooded the whole world and then rebuilt it just from one family and one of each animal is a preposterous fairy tale

the only problem is that there are flood stories from all over the world www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html not just the middle east I think the older version of the great flood is told in the epic of gilgamesh the story its sumarian or babalonian in origin

dont think the whole world was covered in water because things like crocks n turtles need a place to lay eggs that has a warm temperature,i think the equator was the only habitable area of the world at one time

almost all flood myths are about localized floods, the only global myth still sticking around is the one touted by the jesusafarians i am not interested in arguing about the bible versus science....i am only interested in what science already knows....and can prove.
this is the debunked theories department

I find it very hard to believe they just made all these stories up.......I will give the Nazi Pope a call and ask him.
