Re: probably derivitave
There is evidence that a local flood actually took place. The stories are true as far as actually being a flood. Most scholars believe that
the Sumerian,babylonia,Assyrian and Hebrew tales all came from one more ancient source. The Euphrates valley has suffered major floods many times. There is one in particular that is close to what Bible chronology places the flood. The entire valley flooded up to the mountains in the north. In some places it left an eight foot deep layer of silt. There was signs of life below the silt nd signs above but no signs of life in the silt layer.

Re: probably derivitave
That' not exactly true. There is no archeological evidence of any 100,200 or 1000 year flood that inundated the valley as much. The Euphrates used to overlow it's banks pronanly mor often that 100 yers,but there is evidence of only one flood that left a blank layer in the valley. There is only one. As for the Bible chronology being made up,that's also false,at least from the time of Noah forward. The Ahora inscription from Armenia has been dated very close to the time of Noah. The chronology from the flood back to Adam may be made up,but not the rest of it.

Re: probably derivitave
Sorry. I missed your reference to Ussher,which i am not familisr with.
I looked it up and your right. Ussher's dates are most likely not correct,according to archeologists. The truth is that a date form around Noah would be impossible due to the impossible lifespans prior to the flood. Archeologists have placed the time of Abraham around 2,000 B.C,which actually coincides with the Bible,according to I Kings reference to 480 years after the Exodus. The 430 years in Egypt is probably not correct,which is not compatable with the four generations. Most other texts say the Israelites were in Egypt 215 years and in Canaan prior to that for 215 years,or 430 years as a stranger n a strange land.

Re: probably derivitave
O.K
It's no more unsubstantiated than saying it never took place. I don't understand why you consider it unsubstantiated. You have no contrary evidence to prove it is. Read some archeology books and find out,then let me know if it's unsubstantiated. Then you can offer evidence that substantiates your claims.
