(I have no idea why I'm jumping into this ultimate no-win debate, however, regarding post 89:)

No-win? Are you suggesting that no minds have ever been changed in these debates? ,-}

While I agree that many cultures have apocalyptic myths in their history, the poster's inference was that they are universal and the support a one time global flood. And it's nonsense. He generally references an admittedly outdated book with non-specific cites. So why believe the Noah's Ark story over the others when it makes so little sense? For instance, where was the break in Egyptian history around 2400 BC? There wasn't one, let alone a break for 100's of years because there were only 8 people left on Earth and they were stuck on Ararat (or in Iran).

PS: I survived a flood that killed 254 people in Rapid City, SD, in June, 1972.

I said dated, not outdated. There is a difference.

There is plenty of evidence of a global flood, but that is not why I believe in the Genesis Flood. That event is revealed in God's Word.

Many of the most trivial details of the Bible are confirmed by archeological discoveries, not that the Bible needs it.
