"It happened as it is stated in Genesis to Noah and is not some restated Babylonian myth".......

But, when the Bible tells us that the forty days of rain covered the entire earth in 15 cubits of water, and the ark landed on Mt. Ararat until the water receded, I've got a problem with literal interpretation.

Fifteen cubits is about 23 feet of water, and for that amount of water to cover all the earth, even Mt. Ararat- that existed before the flood, isn't plausible, unless it was some kind of special water that clings to slopes and mountains.

I guess that I'm just supposed to believe, but I can't. That's why there is tension between my born again Baptist grown son and myself, 'cause I just can't get into his life and beliefs.

Ask yourself this: According to historians there was a large land mass called Gondwanaland, or maybe Pangea. The Bible states that after the flood the world was changed. Geologists say that the mountain ranges of the world were formed by the earths seperate plates pushing against each other.

So, the question is "Were there any mountains before the flood?"
