a worldwide flood 4,400 years ago

It's like I always say Mike, the people who have a problem with a supernatural creation are the same people who have a problem with the flood, and probably the virgin birth and feeding the 5000, and raising lazurus from the dead, and the existence of Satan and demons, heaven and hell, which are explicitly in the gospels.

I don't have any extra-biblical citations for lazurus being raised from the dead. So is it not true in your mind?

The info about the flood is out there if you want to look.

What does the Bible mean in Gen 6 if it was a local flood?

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Why are you writing to me? I have no problem with supernatural creation or the flood.

Of course it's true. Why would you think that I don't believe it? I've already stated my position.

Yes, I've seen it. They're a joke to anybody with an understanding of science.

I commented to someone on this thread -- perhaps you, I don't remember -- that they needed to go a word study on the Hebrew word eretz and understand it's different meanings. Actually, if you read the Bible closely and understand the various meanings of Hebrew words, the flood must have been local. This fits exactly with what God has revealed to us through his creation.
