These posts have been fascinating. Thanks, Dick, Phil and George.
On another (but related) subject: can we devise a suitable flood scenario? If the flood occurred in southern Mesopotamia as Dick's scenario suggests, what do we do about the depth and duration of the flood? Since the land is relatively flat in that region, the flood cannot have been very deep, and by the same token cannnot have lasted very long. Are we justified in concluded that the depth and duration of the flood are exaggerations typical of ancient near east literature? Are there other possible explanations? (I don't like Dick's view that Noah and his sons poled the ark upstream to the mountains of Ararat.)
