Biblical Literality
In this thread, I offer a compromise. What if the Bible is literally true and yet the details can be less than literal?
​
This is somewhat what I have held for years. The stories are based on actual occurrences but as with any story passed on from word of mouth to another and to another et cetera, by the time It gets written down it bares little resemblance to the original story.

Re: Flood legends
when you say there is no evidence for a world wide flood, how does science explain the remains of mammoths and rhinoceroses in different parts of the earth, Some of these were found in Siberian cliffs; others were preserved in Siberian and Alaskan ice. In fact, some were found with food undigested in their stomachs or still unchewed in their teeth, indicating that they died suddenly.
​
And then there is the fossil remains of many other animals, such as lions, tigers, bears, and elk, have been found in common strata, which may indicate that all of these were destroyed simultaneously.
​
That fact they are found in common strata simply means that they lived in the same areas. There are many ways that an animal could die with food in its mouth.

Re: Flood legends
water has been everywhere...even in the middle of the desert regions of Australia...sea shells cover millions of hectares of land out there
​
That area hasn't always been a desert. Yes water has been virtually every place on this planet, just not at the same time. Even the Sahara desert in Africa was at one time fertile flora & fauna producing land.
Over time climates change. the change in levels of Carbon dioxide change the climate dramatically. Very low quantities lead to ice ages, very high quantities lead to global warming. These changes cause dramatic changes in the land, climate and the populations of animals & plants.

Re: Flood legends
t seems like a the earth has a lot of explaining to do if a flood wasnt the cause ... again though, this evidence makes the flood plausible
​
Your link simply shows what has been known for years, the the movement of erratics is simply the work of glaciers particularly during the last ice age.

Re: Flood legends
i keep hearing people say there is no evidence for the great flood, but i keep finding it
​
There are many ways that fissures & crevices etc are formed. Earthquakes, local flooding etc. Such phenomena don't suggest a global flood .
