Re: A flood of flood mythes.

the book im refering to is not a creationist book, its two scientists who wrote it, so are you telling me that i should also not believe them?
That's beside the point. What you don't seem to understand is that Ryan and Pitman didn't name their book because they believed that the Biblical myth of a global flood is true; they named it because they thought they had found the basis of the myth of Noah, as well as all of the other ancient global flood myths of the Levant. They are not, in any way, asserting that the Biblical myth is historical. They are asserting that the myth of Noah was inspired by a real flood that has been embellished by religious fervor into a preposterous tale.
You seem to lose sight of the fact that very little of the Bible is actual history.
