Fish must be very holy

I believe the flood water in the story came from the sky. They thought the sky high above was made of water, as seperated from earthly water by God in the infamous "creation story".

Back in reality, they were looking up at a blue sky, looking at blue water, and concluded that the sky was water. And then they stole a story from an earlier mythology about a flood, featuring a character with an actual bow to set in the sky. That's why the story makes no sense and they later tried to switch bow out for rainbow in some later "translations".

If I remember all that right.

So to sum up, it's a load of fetid dingo's kidneys (thanks Douglas). Anyone who thinks this flood actually happened is several rungs below reality.
