Is there really that much to understand about a myth?

Actually that only proves my point further.

That region? Wasn't god supposed to flood the entire Earth? And if the temperature drops below freezing, it's not rain but snow, which works against the flood, since the surface would freeze.

Or if you want a biblical answer gen 6:21
So not only were there multiple animals from every single species on the planet, but tons of food to feed them as well for such a long period of time? That's one big fucking boat.
And since we're on that topic, where did all the excrement go?

If the world was flooded for such a long time, all the plants would die. it wouldn't matter even if the animals and Noah survived, because they would come back to a totally dead place.

Most people assume this flood worked like any other. Water from point a washes to point b carring debris. It would be like taking a bucket of water and sand and dumping it on the ground casting what was contained in the bucket across a large area. However this flood did not occour that way. Water came from the ground up.
That would be more like filling your bucket with water and sand again, but instead of dumping it out, poking a small hole in the bottom and let it all drain out slowly.
This would result in The strata remaining intact for much of the world, just as it is now.
Citation needed.

Ohh, right! Because every logical gap in your cute little story can be filled wih saying "god did it". Why are we having this argument at all if you can just make all the doubts fade away with "don't question it, it's gawd!"? Look, at least try to stay consistent. If you want to be scientific, be scientific. If you want to preach, preach. But don't mix the two, because hey don't go well together. You can't just fill every gap in your theory with god and expect rational people to accept your claims.

If you were to maybe open up one of those boxes from time to time, you might find that you, your box and everything in it is and always has been wrong.
But, hey even if your wrong, you have pop culture supporting your beliefs. (the world is flat) So what could possibly be wrong with that?
On the contrary, Drich, I question what I believe. The irony of what you said is baffling. You're the one who goes to all this trouble and makes all these mental gymnastics to preserve your beliefs. And what do you mean by saying the popular culure believes the Earth is flat? Forgot to take your pills again?
