Let's assume that the Biblical flood actually occurred
(a rather dubious proposition: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_geology#Modern_geology_and_flood_geology)
and did so in 2304 BC +/- 11 years as per Answers In Genesis. Cuneiform records date back to the 34th Century BC, and Egyptian hieroglyphics date back to the 32nd Century BC.
There is no record of anyone after the flood living that long.
Since no one ever has, that's hardly surprising.
It really doesnt matter what modern day historians consider accurate.
Unless, of course, you wish to understand history.
They thought the Bible was inaccurate when it spoke of the Hittites. No one had ever heard of the Hittites before and then after the discovery they realized that the Bible knew something that no one else had record of previously.
It's one thing to give credence to the Bible when it mentions the existence of another culture...that's plausible. Taking Biblical mythology seriously is quite another thing, given that it's contradicted not only by history but by physics, geology, biology, cosmology...etc.
So in other words, the Bible is accurate except when it is not. :)
Lol your link on flood geology was quite entertaining.
‘Modern geology relies on a number of established principles, one of the most important of which is Charles Lyell’s principle of uniformitarianism’
IOW, we know the flood never happened because the shape of the earth is caused by slow processes over millions of years because things have always been the same.
‘In the philosophy of naturalism, uniformitarianism ASSUMES...’
