    First of all you do not have to have lived in "those times" in order to have geological proof of any flooding. It is very easy for a geologist and other earth scientists to prove when flooding occured as well as droughts and other natural disasters. There is a good deal of proof that there was wide spread flooding, droughts, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in ancient times (as well as in historic times), however these are certainly not world wide;known world or otherwise. As for the archaeological evidence (that is just as relevant here), there is proof that there has always been continous life and evolving civilizations in separate parts of the world since the first human appeared. The myth of Noah and his Arc--in this time of scientific enlightenment, is just not humanly, zooilogically or spiritually possible.

    • I agree with most of this. However, had He wanted too, God could have erase/prevented evidence of a global flood.

    • the planet records all of it's history and nothing erases it, except vast human activity

    • This is true if you take an omnipotent God out of the equation. I freely admit that there is no evidence of a world wide flood of the scale recorded in the Bible. Because of this, I am more inclined to believe that the account in Genesis is not entirely accurate. However, I also don't discount the possibility that God could have simply erased the evidence. I don't claim to have all the answers.

    • Of course ou don't. God lives in the cracks, right?! If our skills in geological and archeological dating are incorrect, as the bible timeline would suggest, than why would this omnipotent being try to hide the evidence of this terrible deed from us, despite our faulty dating techniques? It's kind of pathetic to see otherwise rational beings (humans) grasping for straws. God really does live in the cracks, hiding from the blinding light of reason, forever cursed to the darkness that science has not yet illuminated.

    • Whatever, Taigaz.

      However, in rereading DiSTurBiA's comment I noticed something that I seemed have missed the first time through. No, that is not true, DiSTurBiA, there are large portions of Earth's history for which we have no record. I suggest you try looking up unconformities (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconformity) to learn more about this.
