''A forty foot overnight sea level rise is a global flood. How could it be not a global flood?''
What is the source material for that figure?
''I'm not holding to all the literal details like two of every animal on an ark.''
There are people who do. As you know, fundamentalists believe in a literal flood as described in the OT....which includes Noah and his efforts in repopulating the worlds animal life, which is described as being annihilated by a world wide flood that topped the highest mountains. If this or that is false, it could all be false, a myth based on post ice age flooding and embellished into a world wide flood expressing the ''wrath of God''
