It is not only the Hebrews (Gen. 6\u20138), but Mesopotamians, Egyptians, and Greeks who all report a flood in primordial times. A list of Sumerian Kings around 2100 BC is divided into two groups: those kings who ruled before a great flood and those who ruled after it. The Gilgamesh Epic in the Sumero-Akkadian-Babylonian literature, describe a great flood sent as punishment by the gods – humanity was saved when Utnapishtim (AKA, \u201cthe Mesopotamian Noah\u201d) builds a ship and saves the animal world thereon. The Greek story of Deucalion and Phyrra, tells of a couple who survived a great flood sent by an angry Zeus. Taking refuge atop Mount Parnassus (AKA, \u201cthe Greek Ararat\u201d), they supposedly repopulated the earth by heaving stones behind them that sprang into human beings.<\/p>\n

There was ample time to make the Ark, the Ark would have been large enough to accommodate the animals, there was ample water with which to flood the earth (even without God creating more), recent discoveries provide further validation of the account in the Bible, and there are many corroborating stories from other cultures than the Bible. None of this is needed to believe the Bible, but it does help when questioned by none Christian friends and associates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Introduction The Ark and Flood are a key area of challenge by atheists and secular science. It is another area that many Christians have \u201cgiven up the fight\u201d and accepted it as myth. There is absolutely no reason to \u201cgive up\u201d on this as not only is the Ark feasible, but the flood is supported […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1630,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[125,107],"tags":[123,124,131,93,132],"class_list":["post-1629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-creation-evolution","category-questions","tag-creation","tag-evolution","tag-flood","tag-genesis","tag-noah"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
