The Bible is literally true, but each detail is not.

I see this claim a lot on the Net, yet it is never supported. So, perhaps you can point us to a few stories from around the world that are 'very similar' to the Bible version.I my experience, the flood stories from around the world differ greatly from each other, and especially the two flood myths in the Bible.Look at some of the Phillipino flood myths, they are nothing like Noah's adventure.Then, of course, there are many nations who do not have a flood myth.Finally, we have the archaeological record that falsifies the biblical flood.A worldwide flood as described in the Bible has been demonstrated to be untrue by every investigative discipline that we have.

I appreciate the info , but I fail to see where these myths are 'very similar' to the biblical flood.Logically, if the biblical flood were true, then shouldn't there be only one flood story the world over?We are told that the only human survivors were the inhabitants of the ark, thus all other cultures were terminated. Therefore, if the biblical flood is true then there shouldn't be all these vastly different tales in existence.According to the Bible, we are all descended from Noah and his sons, so I conclude that the vastly different flood stories are more the product of human imagination rather than an actual single catastrophic event.I have read many flood myths from around the world, some much older than the two merged biblical flood myths, and I don't see how they can be related.
