Whether the real story matches that of the Genesis account obviously is in doubt.
The assumption that there is a "real story" is frightening and telling.
Quote:
But flood and boat building legends are quite common in the cultures of the time period in that region. One can comfortably conclude there may indeed have been one common flood, and perhaps one boat builder that sprung the legend. Cultures, then and future, would then assimilate this legend into their own, changing what can be considered minor details such as the real location of the event to one that local residents can relate to. You might say but the real location is not minor! It is quite major in a historical or archealogical sense, I'll agree, but it is not in terms of preserving the spirit of the legend.
What the **** are you trying to say, Stephen Hawking?
That there realy have been floods before and that people tell stories about them? No ****. How does that relate to some sevn hundred year old ************ driving a boat into a mountain because of a flood that covered the entire planet?
Are you trying to educate us to the fact that fairy tales are rawn from vaguely plausable premises? Great. You know, there was a guy once, who gave gifts to children on Chrsitmass Day. I guess it's prefectl rational that he'd have a workshop on the North Pole.
What was your ******* point? Maybe I missed it.
