Peg writes in the Topic "Is belief in God or the Bible necessary to believe in a massive flood."
​
the question ppl have to ask themselves is would a book of myth and legend contain so many real places and people and dates and times
​
while Coragyps writes
​
Hmmm...that might be worth a thread - a comparison of the Iliad and Odyssey, with all the Real Places they mention, to the Pentateuch. I don't see a "glaringly obvious" difference, Peg. Where is it?
​
Now then what is the point. Does one agree with Peg or with Coragyps or neither? Does mythology containing real places make it non-mythological. Even in modern writing , many fictitious stories contain real people & places ie: Gone with the Wind.
