So....why do virtually all ancient civilizations have a flood story with
striking similarities? The event was loooonnnnng gone, before man could
think, talk, make pancakes, anything.<<

I saw Jim Foley's response to this. I learned a lot. There are two ways to
transmission of information over such a time span. 1. oral transmission,
which moderns would scoff at or 2. revelation to the early Hebrews.

It is uncertain how long a story could be transmitted orally since moderns
have quit memorizing things. It might be longer than we moderns imagine. But
I have no problem with revelation of the story to the Hebrews, do you?
