However, the overwhelming weight of evidence falls on a local ca. 2900 BC flood
in the Mesopotamian basin. Exactly how deep the water was, how many animals
were on board, how the boat was configured, how it was propelled, which
direction the wind blew, what the boat’s exact course was, and where it landed
are all debatable points - maybe. But why get bogged down in the things we
can’t substantiate when there is so much we can?
Suppose the flood was so shallow that the ark only drifted a short distance
before it ran aground, but that the flood covered such a wide area and the
water was so wild that no one would dare leave the ark. Furthermore, who says
the journey began near the Persian Gulf? Suppose it began above Jabel Judi
(the place where Carol Hill
(http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/2002/PSCF9-02Hill.pdf)proposes the ark landed),
ran aground near Jabel Judi and stayed there til the flood subsided.
