Noah's Flood vs Japan?

[Duke Guilmon]

Creationist claim that Noah's Ark is true because almost every country has a flood myth. However there are many things wrong with this claim starting with



Each Flood myth is different. Now Every Flood myth has a different story. For example, the Great Flood of china is actually a parable of history.1 So how does a flood story not related to the actual Noah's flood, seeing as how it is nothing more then a parable. Also some flood myths actually have other gods and even goddesses that cleaned up a flood.

Also the fact that the flood myth specific to Noah in the abrahamic faiths is actually a copy of the Epic of Gilgamesh2

There is also the fact that each flood myth happened at different times. Each country has a flood myth that takes place in a different time and place, some global and some local.3

Last comes back to the title. JAPAN HAS NO FLOOD MYTH!! That is right, Japan has no flood. So what? Is japan immune to global floods? It seems to me that the japan is stronger then the god of the bible. Well lesson learned, the Japanese are gods. That and their gods must be real. Or.... The story is nothing but a myth itself. If it is true, we now know that the Japanese are stronger then God.

Now what would a creationist say to the Japanese not having a story? That they were lazy to write it down. But the Japanese do write down important history, and a global flood is well, important.
