"What Flood? There was no Flood."
??? There have been all matter of 'floods', the dispute seems to be about 'The Flood' of Noah's time being a total earthly flood. Moses words are the whole earth, however, given we are told the purpose of the flood, seems to indicate that purpose would defined the amount of land mass flooded. Sure would be an interesting story to have a DNA sample of those individuals who were to be destroyed by that flood of water.
Given what we are told about that 'olive leaf' and the length of time Noah and others were on the ark, sure does not sound like a complete global immersion.
However Jeremiah describes another flood wherein nothing was saved and he is not describing Noah's time 'Flood'.
Flood capitalized means worldwide flood on these threads.
And there is zero scientific evidence of one.
