Why would the point be any different? God's judgment by the floodwaters
came upon the sinful culture of the Mesopotamian basin and destroyed it.
In his mercy he preserved Noah, his family, and the regional fauna. Same
message as far as I can tell.

BTW--my apologies to this group for posting this here. It was meant for
another group. If you want to see the context, feel free to visit the web
archive at http://www.calvin.edu/archive/asa/index.html.
The other group (asa@calvin.edu, an email discussion group for the American
Scientific Affiliation, for info see
http://www.calvin.edu/chemistry/ASA/index.html) has broader interests than
the evolution@calvin.edu group, but sometimes the discussion turns toward
origins. If I'm not careful I reply to the wrong group.
