Creationists actually assume stuff like this is proof of the flood. To them, the more cultures who have flood legends, the more likely Noah's flood happened. They actually cite pagan flood legends in their materials as proof of the biblical flood.

You know, Kichi, I find Jim West a fascinating character. He's a baptist preacher from fucking Tennessee - of all places - yet he somehow keeps his job in spite of the fact that he knows the OT is horseshit and hangs out with minimalist scholars like Philip Davies and Niels Peter Lemche. I wonder how he manages to fend off the Drippys and G-Cs in his congregation because you know they have to have them.

What won't they cite as evidence for it?

I've read a few alternate theories that could explain widespread flood legends without a global flood, most involving root religions and flash thaws of mini ice ages.

Anything that tells them they are wrong.

Nah, they just cite it and "reinterpret" it to fit.
