Exactly my point. Many unrelated religions incorporate the flood story because it was a universal experience caused by the sudden end of the ice age. Nobody “stole” any “myth” from anybody else.
I believe we’re saying pretty much the same thing, I was pointing out that the incorporation of flood myth into religions must have taken place much later because there aren’t any religions that old.
