Summary:
The word of marine geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman are correct.

The word of God is wrong.

Haha, Who do you believe, Ryan & Pitman or God?

[FreeTally]

I think Ryan and Pittman concluded that there could have been a flood. Did one of us read that wrong?

"Summary: The word of marine geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman are correct. The word of God is wrong. Haha, Who do you believe, Ryan & Pitman or God?

I believe Ryan & Pittman. The people who wrote the bible spoke of this flood but, I have yet to see anything written by God about it. (Besides, the stories are compatable)

[Vladiator]

If God wrote the Noah story, and it was only about the Black Sea, why did he say that the whole world was flooded?

Was God just using a literary device? Or was God just uninterested in the Europeans, Chinese, Indians (Subcontinental and American) and the Polar Bears?

[willyone]

Your argument is misplaced. For starters who knows where the flood actually occured. And while you may not like to hear this the Bible is not exactly accurate. Faith is not the same as logical argument or physical proof.

Me, I believe God.

God said it, it happened, Dr. Dumbell kiss my grits.

I just checked my Bible and it does not say God flooded the globe...

God states "I, on my part, am about to bring the flood on the earth, to destroy everywhere all creatures in which there is the breath of life; everything on earth shall perish"(Genesis 6.17)

How far had all life on earth spread out from Eden by the time of Noah?

The flood might be only need to be local to kill all life

[Sci Fi Guy]

This is not about the Biblical account of the flood in the Bible. The only connection to the real flood was the writers decision to refer to this theorized black sea flood as noah's flood. I assume that they believe that the Biblical account is based on massive flood of the area around the black sea.

Some people also assert that the word of God claims the world came into existence around 6000 years ago(which is obviously false)! Now my question is this...what do you believe...fact or faith!

Given that Bronze Age men penned this particular "word of God", I would tend to believe the 21st Century scientists.
