Noah's flood is simply a war story. It tells how he evaded the invading enemy army that swept through the area destroying and pillaging everything it encountered. The story uses number of war and peace words to show that it was just a war story.
BTW, have you forgotten how Ethiopia, Assyria, Persia, and Arabia were just down the road from the Garden of Eden where Adam & Ever were and how those places and all their people were just fine after the "flood"? So where's the record that those places were ever flooded to their highest mountain?
And remember, the stories about how the Egyptians periodically swept through the land as well as the Ethiopian Emperor and his million man army.
Basically only idiots think that an extra layer of water six miles deep covered the world, disappeared in a month or so, and left all of the fresh water lakes and rivers undisturbed and intact olive trees covered the land.
Please use your 21st Century intellect and stop believing in silly fairy tales concocted by con men over four thousand years ago.
Even to someone who may not be a partisan in this discussion, they should at least be able to comprehend your purposefully slanted, and erroneous depiction of history. But what is amazing is that the Bible also addresses your suppression of the truth:
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools...For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." The letter of St. Paul to the Romans, chapter 1.
