The story of Noah (in the Bible) is so infuriating...

[ReptilianPeon]

Why are the so many flood myths? Would it be reasonable for somebody to conclude that there was actually a flood because of this?

It's simple: floods are relatively common. More common than the occasional devastating flood, however, was/is the human tendency to ascribe divine causes to weather events, vastly overexaggerate details, and if the occurrence was of such significance to a town or city's way of life, tell the subsequent generations of children and grandchildren about it with an added moral until over time the story takes a bona fide literary form.

I understand now. I heard somewhere that even if all of the ice on the Earth melted there wouldn't be enough water for a flood Biblical proportions. Then again, there is also lots of water hidden underground. I'm sure Theists have drawn their own conclusions from this. But Robvalue is right, there is no evidence for this. My father seems to think the prevalence of sedimentary rocks is evidence for Noah's flood (because those are the only ones in which fossils are found he said)...
