  One of the key peices of evidence that people sight to try to prove the flood happen is the fact the most cultures have a flood myth or story as they put it.

  I was just watching a program that also points out the most, if not all cultures believe in dragons. Even cultures that evolve in isolation have beliefs in dragons and they are all simular though not the same. Just like the flood myth.

  So if they believe the flood happened because so many cultures have flood stories. Then by the same stroke they most also believe that dragons walk the earth.

  I didn't know other cultures believed in Dragons. Do you think the "Dragons" might have been Dinosauers?

  I think Noah's flood happened. I just don't believe it was world-wide. Nor that the entire earth population of fauna, reptilians, and insectoids floated along. That's all.

  There's dragons and sea monsters, too.

  Why didn't the dinosaurs get included on the trip, they were God's creatures too

  I always thought that the fact we still have fresh and salt water fish a very good argument for the flood never happening. niether can survie in each other habit, so a big world wide flood, would have mixed the waters.

  Also how did the animals in Oz land get there?, Noah make a stop on the way home?

  A lot of archeological evidence points to a great flood of global effects.

  Now whether it was world wide is another story. How do you explain wooly mammoths in Siberia with vegetation in their mouth?

  How do you explain sea creatures fossils in the desserts of the USA?

  Also the chest on Ararat so high in elevation?

  What's wrong with believing in dragons. After all, wasn't fighting them what the knights were for? ;-)

  With all due respect there is NO archeological evidence for a great flood at all.

  Wooly mammouths in siberia and vegetation in their mouth is a HUGLY misquoted sitution

  Please check this site, and more importanly its references its quotes, all are from peer reviewed and repuatuable sources.

  The flood is myth, maybe built from a very localized flood yes, but they effects you quoted wouldn't even exisited if a world wide flood had happened.

  Interesting. I gave up discussing issues about the Flood when I found out the ice cores used to introduce millions of years of chronology were standing on top of tropical vegetation on the floor of the Antartica. That's enough global flood evidence/indication for me.

  In the meantime, the dragon concept is interesting, but it might be linked to Satan. Satan is called a "dragon" in Revelation, which is related to a serpent, especially if the serpent had legs. So the concept of a dragon and the flood would have a common source in Noah and the Eden story.
