"And some assume there was never really a Noah."

Yes there was a Noah. He was credited with Gilgamesh's flood story. The flood happened in 5,600BC when the Black Sea was flooded with salt water from the Mediterranean.

Poor old Noah spent all those years building the ark when all he had to do was pick up and move a few miles. :^)

If Noah's flood was a localized, there would've been no need to build a ship. The Black Sea may have flooded, but it wasn't Noah's flood.

You know, I remember about a month ago; our pastor was telling a bit of this story to us, as part of his homily(sermon). He was talking about Noah, and the flood story in the "Gilgamesh". It was really interesting how he told it. I do wish I could remember just how he told the story.

He was telling us how the word "Satan" came into being, from that part of the world. Apparently, it was once a term applied to a mortal enemy. Then it came to be applied to the devil(or a imortal) enemy. He was saying how many of the people of Iraq and Iran are not Muslim, but Zoroastrian. It was really interesting!
