How do you apply that process on the rest of the narratives in the bible? Can you be sure that your interpretation is accurate?Well, I was trough a Christian Website, and I read this article. Of course, it took a while for me to accept it, but I did in the end.
How do I apply this to the rest of the Bible? Well, I dunno what you mean. It is a straight-forward reading of the original text, so I cannot be accused of making an unjustified exception (was it called special pleading?). Given that geology supports it and that the biblical hebrew text supports it, the reasonable thing to do is to accept that the Flood was local in extent.
And yes, I'm pretty certain that I'm accurate in this interpretation, given what I said.
