Yep. Like that gigantic whale that swallowed that dude whole and spit him up later.

This has been a fun read. Despite the posturing what do we know to be more or less accurate?
Multiple cultures across the world have myths of early catastrophic floods.
Many of these were carried from oral traditions prior to being written down, so we really cant tell what the originating timeframe was.
The stories from the ME are similar enough to where we can assume they originated from a single event.
We know that there was a period of flooding during the end of the ice age, which could have included catastrophic flooding as ice bridges or other natural dams were breached in the Black Sea and Persian Gulf.
There is growing evidence of an impact on the ice shelf from a comet or other body about 12,000 years ago, which would have been a planet wide catastrophe.
I personally think these stories are a planet wide shared memory of an earth altering event, all painted with the regional religions and told since ancient times.
The question should be what about this tale is so important to humankind that it was remembered, retold and is still being discussed today? What message is important enough to make it through 1,000s of years.
Yeah..I read Graham Hancock.

Is that red an amplitude anomaly?
Let’s reprocess, then drill that bad boy!

Not a great argument. For literally hundreds of years people thought the ancient city of Troy was just a myth and a fable about taking advantage of hospitality/stealing wives. Until in 1871 they actually found Troy.

Now that’s an interesting appeal to “authority.”
Atheists: The earth is 4.6 BILLION YEARS OLD.
Also atheists: “We’ve learned absolutely all there is to know, in and about the universe, in the last 150-200 years. Trust me bro.”
Get.
Out.

Outside of religious extremists the age of the earth is widely accepted by far more than just atheists.

The study of astronomy goes back millenniums and there are plenty of ongoing debates regarding the validity of the Standard Cosmological Model.

I’m not sure why this keeps getting posted and upvoted seeing as Noah’s story predates Gilgamesh.

Oh so just because ChatGPT said it didn’t happen means there’s no God or anything huh? Lol
You keep listening to your stupid robot and I’ll continue to serve my God in heaven until the day I die.
I feel sorry for souls like you if you never seek the Lord. Hell is a horrible place my man. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody but it’s it’s up to you. You can keep thinking that’s all a fairytale if you want but the signs that God is definitely real is all around you. You just choose not to believe.

I believe in God but not Noah's ark.
There is no evidence of Noah's ark in the geological column. Instead we see very solely primitive creatures at the very bottom and much more complex ones at the top.
You wont see a squirrel in the Cambrian layers. This wouldnt make sense if the story Noah's ark is legit.

Yet it’s interesting that virtually every single culture and religion throughout the world references it.

They reference a guy building a boat and putting 2 or every animal on it? But not trees or insects or birds or plants or anything else, and is able to get them all from all the different continents and even gets all the species variations and such and redistributes them all right back where they came from. And then when they get there survive somehow because there’s only two of them and they need to eat, so as soon as they do the thing they ate is extinct (so why save it in the first place). Or for herbivores all the plant life is gone. And for some reason we aren’t left with a bunch of retard animals since inbreeding is inevitable since there’s only two….
