Evidence?

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.”
–Genesis 7:11-12,17-24

Concerning the flood which enveloped the world and of which Noah and his family ALONE survived:

One of the strangest pieces of “evidence” which the world’s “authorities” (science, history, higher education) offer to any who pay attention to them IS odd–to say the least.

In order that those who listen to the world’s authorities might disregard the account of the flood in God’s Word, the following argument is made.

“Every civilization, every group of people–past and present–every society has a flood story. It’s just a story. It’s a myth. The fact that so many have the almost the same flood story is proof that it isn’t true.”

Does the reader find this to be an odd argument?

List of flood myths

Flood myths are common across a wide range of cultures, extending back into Bronze Age and Neolithic prehistory. These accounts depict a flood, sometimes global in scale, usually sent by a deity or deities to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution.

Flood Stories from Around the World

The stories below are flood stories from the world’s folklore. I have included stories here if (1) they are stories; (2) they are folklore, not historical accounts or fiction by a known author; and (3) they involve a flood. In most borderline cases, I included the story here anyway. For example, one story (Hopi) tells of a flood which was avoided and never occurred.

World Flood Myths

Did you know there are over 200 myths from all over the world about a major Flood? If a worldwide Flood never happened, then why are there so many stories about it?

BECAUSE practically every society on earth–no matter where–has an account of a great flood which covered the earth and killed all of the people living, this is supposedly “evidence” that the account in Genesis is only a story; a “myth.”

Many of the accounts contain details of how one family aboard a great ship filled with animals was saved.

IF a great, worldwide cataclysm killed all but a few of the people on earth, does the reader believe that the descendants of that surviving family would pass that information along to THEIR children and grandchildren?

OF COURSE, various cultures sometimes added local color to the account in a sort of generations-long game of “telephone.”

HOW ODD that the world’s authorities argue that this widespread repeating of basically the same account of the flood is “proof” that it did not happen.

Which leads one to the conclusion that the world’s authorities would have made lousy detectives.

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
