Walking your footsteps
Posted by: Elroy
Stories of a great flood appear in almost all cultures around the world. Each is similar in that there was a deluge, but each differ significantly.
I see two possibilities here:
1. The flood story in Genesis was true and was mistakenly translated into different version as humanity spread around the word.
-or-
2. Some cataclysmic world-wide event, that caused flooding globally, spawned many different flood accounts, each to try and make sense of what happened.
If the latter is true, than the biblical version is just one interpretation in hundreds, if not thousands of accounts.
If the first one is true, then why do the stories vary so radically?
To read more of the many and varied flood accounts, you can find a good write up on wikipedia.
Now that we pretty much know a gigantic meteor slammed into what is today the Gulf of Mexico, creating a nuclear winter that killed off the dinosaurs, doesn't it seem likely that the second possibility is most likely the right one?
Enjoy,
Elroy
