What is your opinion on a huge shaking and flood about 14,000 years ago? (Not Noah’s)

I don't know, I wasn't there.

There was a huge flood that destroyed the Mesopotamian civilization about 8,000 years ago. Maybe that was Noah’s flood? I think that there are things described in the Bible that we don’t understand. Did Noah’s flood happen, yes I believe it did. Do we understand all of the specifics, I’m not sure we do. The old testament uses figurative language that made sense to the people of the time but leaves us confused.

I honestly don’t know, other than I have found that as our understanding of history improves, “Bible fables” turn into historic fact.

I am a fundamentalist but not necessarily a literalist if that makes sense.
