Many cultures around the world have tales of the flood. People have seen Noah’s Ark and it does not look like the Sunday School pictures of boats with animals in them.
The ark is a type of Christ. Those in Him will escape God’s righteous wrath to be poured out on this earth as the flood was. Only eight people survived the worldwide flood.
They asked Jesus if many would be saved. His answer was, “Enter ye in at the strait (narrow) gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13)
Eight people out of the whole world.
Got ya. Just satire.
Just keep in mind that the Bible was written in a way to be understood by the largest number of people at the time who could read.....there are many who believe that the literal translation is not always the factual translation.
That is not a means of demeaning the Bible. It is a means of understanding it and explaining the science of it.
The worldwide flood was most likely a massive regional flood beyond which there was no exploration at the time....hence, it was THEIR world that was flooded.
