Noahs Ark

Look.
Nobody is saying that there wasn't a really big flood, we have really big floods even now and I'm sure it looks like end of the world to those people caught in them.
But 30,000 feet of water covering the entire planet!?!?
There's just not enough water to do that.

The trouble with retrospective treatments like the one in the link is that they strip the story of its mythological dignity & send it out into the streets naked & ashamed. "Please donate generously".

Take it literally, but we'll fill in any gaps.

Not a lie, a myth.

It's funny, I Googled "proto-myth flood" and half the hits were RHP threads.

Latest update on the water thing.
The ocean floor was made to rise to the level of the continental shelf or above, sloshing all the water onto the land. The mountains in the time of the Flood were lower. It rained a lot.
After, the ocean floor sank, sucking all the water back and the mountains grew because of er the pressure or something.
There, that explains that.
Take it or go to Hell.
Have a nice day.
