From experience those that lurk and are not quite as bat-shit all out to not use their supposedly god-given mind are the ones who do benefit, not the ones who defend Biblical bullshit. They actually do take stuff on board.
Agreed. I learned much from reading the various sides in the debates here. Sharpened my mind along the way.

How about applying Psychology to the story of Noah?

Glad you like it. Hey and thanks a post you made way back about positive personality disintegration, at least I think it was you.

Concerning the Flood, what followed was water being thrust upward from the earth's strata and the rain from above.
Here's some info on the canopy which once existed http://www.thetruthishere.com/canopy.html
What do the non believers think happened to all of the water when it condensed?
Scientists have to keep reviewing their own assumptions about mankind's history because they keep finding earlier remains of civilizations beneath the seas. They know that civilizations existed before their established timeline - they previously believed mankind came forth from caves and began walking upright. Since later belief is a fallacy, how can they accurately piece the puzzle together?

Frankie,
Thanks for the link, I shall take a look.
Everyone else, maybe you can chip in here - what gets a "legend" started? I mean, something so profound as a global deluge, let's say for example that thousands of years ago, someone started this story, and at the time nothing like this had happened. Everyone listening to this story either first hand or third hand would know it was baloney. They wouldn't even bother to pass it on. And since writing and literature was limited, the likelihood of a story like this even passing down through five generations would be unlikely. Yet this is what happened, many cultures have their own version of the global flood. So whatever you think, whether you believe it or not, or perhaps a lesser flood, there must be something to the story.

Truthseeker, sea levels have been rising for thousands of years. I'm in Florida, and 10,000 years ago the west coast beaches were 100 miles away from where I live. Today they are less than 10 miles away. Had the paleoindians built enduring structures of nonperishable materials like stone, we'd be finding them many miles out in the Gulf of Mexico.

The same goes for the Mediterranean. Low lying coastal cities and island cities from thousands of years ago are underwater today. The sea level has risen since the end of the last Ice Age.
So whatever you think, whether you believe it or not, or perhaps a lesser flood, there must be something to the story.
There is evidence of catastrophic flooding of the basin that holds the Black Sea from thousands of years ago. It was originally a much smaller freshwater lake. Even today, the lower end of the Black Sea water column is fresh water, while the upper end is salty.

I made the mistake of clicking on the link. It was short and stupid. It had zero evidance of anysort.
