Re: Could the flood been exaggerated?
If one reads the flood story from the perspective of those who wrote it, and first read it (and why would one wish to do otherwise?); then one would not imagine , because they could not imagine , that their word for dirt should someday be applied to a spinning rock which flies among the stars.
What we read as "earth" they read as "land."
They didn't exaggerate the story, we did.
Yes, boys and girls, it really is that simple.
Religionists have pretty much ruined what was once called "The Good Book." For starters, they have made it virtually impossible to believe. Such idiots dare call themselves Bible scholars, and propose to "share" with us, "the word of God;" a word they wouldn't recognize if it bit them on the butt.

Theology is the science of Dominion.
