I "figured" nothing, I gave an alternative interpretation.An alternative explanation that is equally as ludicrous as the dry reading you're hoping to reconcile (for the exact same reasons- no less). It never happened at all Cat, not global or local, and it is not possible. It's possible that the narrative could mean either- but the narrative and reality are irreconcilable- so it doesn't matter which reading you prefer. You're "figuring" a great many ignorant things in "recognizing this possibility" - so no Cat, I'm not making conclusions for you, I'm reminding you that the conclusion you've come to (and all of it's unspoken miracles) is garbage.
I recognise the possibility of the flood being global, nothing else.
Well at least I got you to recognise that the narrative could be either. The question then becomes, Why would you deny the possibility of even a local flood as stated above? Or are you saying that the narrative isn't 100% accurate?
And for the record so that I know what the fuck you're talking about... WHAT FUCKING CONCLUSION HAVE I COME TO????

All things which do not require belief. All things which do not require a reading of genesis. All things which are not explained by or elaborated upon by genesis. All things which offer no support for genesis.
You implied that the rain couldn't fall and drop "that much" water to earth. I merely pointed out that things which you know to be real should not discount the possibility of a global flood. But I'm sure you'll find some other reason now...

I live in an area that used to be a warm, shallow sea all the way up until the cenozoic. It's now part of the Appalachians. There are marine fossils in my fencewall.
Since you're deadset on keeping this narrative, I'll ask again, why cherry pick your way through the others? How is the decision to keep or toss narratives made? Throwing darts? Consult the Ouija board? Magic 8-ball?
@the timeline of the flood myth - it happened in dreamtime, obviously. A big roo jumped up and cracked open the sky or some-such.
I couldn't care less if the narrative was kept or not. Especially if you are going to dictate how it should be read.
But here we go again, you'll admit scientific fact yet deny the possibility of the earth being entirely submerged in water? Really, you would deny that?
