twhitehead, do you realize New Zealand was first settled by its indigenous population around 1300 CE?
Do you also realize the Old Testament dates back to at least 1,000 BCE?
Over two thousand years (at least!) passed before people ever even saw New Zealand from when that story was written down.
Anyway, New Zealand hasn't been flooded, has it? The Persian Gulf seems to have an awfully lot of evidence that it was flooded many thousands of years ago. First piece of evidence - it's underwater. Second piece of evidence - it wasn't underwater thousands of years ago. These are well known facts.
When and where did writing and civilization begin? Thousands of years ago around the Persian Gulf.
HMMMMMMM.
Were there any foreign chariot people in the area? How about Sea People? Did Philistines live in the Gaza Strip? Was all this written down to fulfill prophecy? No. These things actually happened. We know this.
