ArchivedThe Quran - Noahs ArkPeace Alexei, Actually the flood wasn't over the entire globe, but the ancient mid-east region. It became to corrupt that God sent a great flood to destroy the inhabitants of the region. You aren;t readint the Bible corredtly, or you're taking it way too literally. You shouldn't take the early Genesis stories too literally. Now here's something interesting. The story of Noah's ark is very very similiar to the pagan Sumerian's "Epic of the Deluge." Here, Gilgamesh is commanded by the god Utnaphitsim to build a great ark and to bring aboard his family and a host of animals. A flood kept his boat aloat for a long time. Then he set forth a dove, but it returned. Then hesent out a raven, and it didn't return. You can read the Epic of the Deluge ath this site: http://www.okbu.edu/public/academics/sc ... lgaweb.htm This doesn't bother me however. Was Noah really Gilgamesh? Was there ever a Noah? It doesn't bother me at all. Mankind became evil, and God punished them by wiping out alot of them in an disaster. The few that kept God's covenant survived and thrived. |
