If the flood only covered part of the Earth it would not have killed everything and it would have been unnecessary to make Noah go to all the trouble. LOL
I love it when they do stuff like this. Trying to bully someone into a silly interpretation is foolish.
Actually, if you think a bit and read scripture, the flood was probably the Black Sea (as the glaciers in Europe melted) and building an ark was probably the best thing to do to preserve the culture and the livestock.
And one last thing, primitive cultures around the globe worshiped the Sun God centuries ago and the world was relatively united in worshiping what gave life. The ancient virgin Mary was a "Rubinest(sp?)" woman with the testicles of bulls wrapped around her body. Things changed when men stopped hunting animals and started taking control. Now, people worship different flavors of Male Gods and kill each other based of those flavors. Supposedly, it's the Male human’s interpretation of God that is the driver. If you go to any city within the States and read through the local yellow pages, there are many twists of the different flavors of God. Moreover, there is competition for new recruits. All this is a perfect example of Entropy, maximum disorder. This makes the forces that drive modern mankind equal to the forces that drive the universe.
No, we can’t just stop there. Let’s look at what drives the male and female species on this rock we call Earth. What drives male heterosexual men? Porn! And I will be the first to say that it is an evolved product of demand-supply market forces. We want to deliver the product of our existence anywhere that is convenient given the energy that the supply gives us. That’s evolution but without order. What drives the female species, romantic movies, romantic diners, romantic dancing, and other things that I don’t know and don’t care to know. That’s evolution with order. And just what created this ying-yang existence that ties us to our male (some 75% of bloggers are men) demands? That, I don’t know, but I think it’s God. If God is a male entity, then send me on the first bus to hell. If God is a female entity, then I hope she is attractive with a nice figure. I think humans are still just simple creatures on this rock and have no concept of the complexity of God.
And to Mr. Balrog666, 666 was actually the name of Julius Caesar. Before names were common place, numbers were given in the place of names. The book of Revelations almost didn’t make it into the good book because of the retaliation against Rome via the demonization of 666. Bible politics, go figure.
Phew, Now I’m done and I have truly expressed myself. It’s time for market forces……
