What are you people talking about?
'It doesn't cover the globe, and often it goes to the atmosphere as well as to the sea. Anyway, there are always large amounts of ice at the poles, due to them being cold most of the year. It doesn't take an Ice Age to have that.'
I thought it was obvious that global flood in this context meant there was rising sea levels globaly. Of course it did not cover the world, but the flood happened worldwide (unless you are in Mongolia, Austria etc I supose). And I am not sure if I understand the Ice Age comment. In the last Ice Age, ice sheets went as far south as London. In case you havn't noticed, they have gone. All that ice sure hasn't stayed in the atmosphere for the last 10,000 years-which means rising sea levels.
'The myth of the flood and Noah may have been credible to a bronze age people, who had little understanding of the number of species in the world. Today the notion of Noah's ark is simply not credible. '
Did I not say Noah was probably fantasy? Anyway, we digress again. The point was that the bible records an actual flood hence we should not dismiss the bible as an historical document (to use as a guide anyway) just because of bias.
