You’re saying this to a person who has been to the Ark Encounter, seen where Jesus was supposedly born, baptized. ate the Last Supper (although the building didn’t exist at the time), was arrested, walked to his execution, was crucified, entombed, and ascended. I have also seen where John the Baptist was executed and where God supposedly showed Moses the Promised Land on Mt. Nebo.
And what special knowledge did these things give you, exactly?

You know nothing from a few millennia ago. Neither do I. To suppose otherwise is ignorant.

Maybe you should do more than read religious texts given to you by your culture.
You know nothing about me. I didn’t grow up in church, my "culture" was not religious. I had an experience (outside of church) that led to my conversion as a grown woman.

Keep believing! You ever suffer the wrath of your dad as a boy growing up?
I believe every last word of the Bible.......people don't pay attention to the world...I'm guilty of it, not anymore, Everything happening in the world we live in is happening for a reason,,,my thoughts are, when it all comes down and it will come down, IE Ukraine Russia China is gonna seem like a picnic compared to what's gonna take place in the Middle East upon his return but that's just me,

The same God that chose to preserve Noah and his family could also have chosen to preserve the Garden. It doesn't say either way, which is what makes it fun (for me) to think about. Wouldn't be the only miracle...

It never did. It’s a fairy tale.

That’s a fairy tale too.

I have studied the world way more extensively than the average person, including firsthand knowledge.

Wrong.

I bet it was. Did you grow up in the Bible Belt, Pakistan, Japan? Odds are great that the majority of adults in your territory weren’t Hindu.

They were degenerate heathens.

Traveling the world in the 2000s doesn't exactly give you a bird's eye view into weather conditions millennia ago.

It’s in Canada, on Vancouver Island, just north of Victoria. It has been rebranded as “Butchart Gardens.” You can see billboards for it on I-5 as far south as California.
Alternately-
For those who haven’t been-
Admittedly Winter & shoulder seasons can be rough there.

It’s speculated to have existed in what is now somewhere between Iraq, Kuwait, and Iran territory.

As a bar in Key West, yes, last time I checked. Only problem, it is clothing optional and only 60+ yo men decide to undress.

Aren't most bars in Key West clothing optional?
Lots of unattractive people there, and weird cats (even by cat standards).

Genesis 7:23 - He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, human beings and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left and those with him in the ark.
It sure looks like it does say.
