Seashells on tops of mountains.

From what I have seen in this thread, it seems to me that those who feel that the flood covered the entire earth seem to to think that the inhabitants who wrote the biblical accounts knew as much about the earth as humans do today. What did the inhabitants of the Mesopotamian area (ie. Babylonia) think the earth was. To them the earth was a small island which the sun, stars and planets revolved each night. They had no concept of the size of the earth or that it was not fixed in the center of the universe. The idea of a flood covering the entire earth was plausible to them. For in such a flood all that could be seen was water in every direction. It would then be plausible for them to believe that the mountains were also covered. If one believes this and as the story is handed down through the generations amd fossils were found on top of mountains then it would be logical for people who belief the story as fact would believe that these were remains of creatures left by the flood. But since the advent of scientific method which counters this idea it should also a;ter the story and here is where logic must enter. Which is correct, the 4000 or so year old story or the much more recently discovered evidence based on the laws of physics?

what was asked was explain the reason and logic.

OK where do I find that?

Yes, all in areas where floods are common but not in mountainous areas.
If the stories were in non-flood areas then there might be some cause for speculation. As for seashells on tops of mountains, they come from different geological eras not 5000 years ago.Edited by bluescat48, : as usual SP
