Noah's Flood vs Japan?

[ThePinsir]

Creationist claim that Noah's Ark is true because almost every country has a flood myth.

Japan not having a flood myth aside, it's still a stupid argument for someone to bring up. One of two possible things would have happened:

1) Everyone but Noah's family was wiped out, so there would be no other surviving cultures to talk about the flood.

2) These other myths came about after the fact and were distorted in various ways by other cultures. What about all the other myths in the Bible? If there's not a bunch of Adam-and-Eve myths, does that mean it's false? Tower of Babble? Exodus? Jonah? Also, if the point of the flood was to wipe out all wicked people, and the majority of people went on to start believing in other gods, of what use was the flood?


That's honestly some of the worst apologetics I've heard, apart from "God can kill babies because they just go to heaven anyway, but people can't, cuz reasons!"

Nah, man. You gotz it all wrong! You see, those babies were born in sin, and so were guilty and deserved to die! Anyway, they would've grown up to be wicked anyway! So there!
