The scriptures tell us that it had never rained before the flood, so how is what you have post any argument to what I said. By the way what I said did not come from Genesis.
Holly crap? Dude we really don't care which fantastic claim you want to focus on, the point in pointing out Genesis is the entire book from the start is full of complete demonstration of the ignorance of the people who wrote it. Talking donkeys and talking bushes and talking snakes and women coming out of a man's rib. The sun and moon being two separate sources of light. Adult plants "poof" into existence without the aid of photosynthesis.
You cant cherry pick that book, the entire thing is logically inconsistent.
There was no global flood. Flood myths were written in many cultures because humans saw their immediate surroundings as the entire world. The Epic of Gilgamesh has a flood story too.
