We had a Katrina and a Tsunami, but that doesn't get translated into the world flooded, with an ark. I really think that's a stretch to assume local floods resulted in global flood stories.

It could have been a unique regional flood associated with the late Ice Age, so that the myths all refer to the same event, misapprehended as global.

misapprehended as global.

You say in 3 words an idea that is very true.

A private belief in one god about one "divine law" is selfish. The public knowledge of our environment and how we are related is part of science education and our future.
