A small point
^Welcome to random.
If the ark story is true, then humanity stems from noah's family, correct? How do you explain ethnic groups? Why do people from africa have higher melanin then others? why do orientals look like they do? Why do northern europeans look like they do?
With the enourmous variety of ethnic groups, the groups must have evolved from his ancestors. In proving the flood right, youve destroyed ID. Good job.
Lets not even talk about the genetic catastrophies that would have happened with so much in-breeding. If it were true.

Re: A small point
noah's three sons are shem (father of the semitic people), ham (egyptians) and japheth (mediterranean).
(noah's descendants are actually a good indication of the area the bible claims the flood covered, as "eretz" is quite ambiguous)
The bible claims the flood had covered?! I was under the impression that the flood covered the entire globe. If the water rose high enough to cover mountains, then it automatically would have flown all over the world, so then the whole world must have been covered.
His three sons are quite genetically luck to be all completly different, and their children not being balanced by their wives, or inbreeding with their relatives from another brother. This still leaves out eastern asians, the blond-haired blue-eyed northern europeans, and the very dark-skinned africans (egyptians don't really look like central or southern africans. Even so, you would still have to argue that minorities like the american indians or the aboriginals native to austrailia must have evolved from the first three groups.

Re: A small point

why?
Why not?
Floodwater levels out obviously. If it covered a/the mountain, it must have been at a higher altitude then said mountain. If the water is at that altitude, then everything under that altitude (assuming theres no damming effect, which in this case is not there) is under water. Most uf the earth is not at the altitude of mountains, so therefor the whole world was covered, or at least the parts that have human population.

Re: A small point
the point, rather, is that we can tell what exactly was included in the ancient hebrew concept of the world. they had no idea about australian aboriginies, or native americas, or south africans, or chinese.
yet nowadays the bible has been adapted to mean whatever is needed. A paradigm shift has occured, i agree, but now the bible is being molded to the new frame of referance. i.e., "listen to the church, we have the bible, to source of truth." Fitting an old glove on a new coat....

-I believe in God, I just call it Nature
-One man with an imaginary friend is insane. a Million men with an imaginary friend is a religion.
-People must often be reminded that the bible did not arrive as a fax from heaven; it was written by men.
