If the only evidence for the flood that we had was what is said in the bible

There are several similar accounts in several ancient texts.

Virtually every culture, all around the globe, has tales of a great flood in ancient times.

Yep. But great local floods are fairly common. And in ancient history they were perceived differently than they are today.

To be clear, I’m not saying I don’t believe it was global. I actually DO believe it was global. But if I die and in heaven find out that it wasn’t, I’d not be surprised. :)

It’s definitely one of those things I would call adiaphora
