Re: [asa] Noah's local flood?

Endless discussions on this over the years.

Almost always the same unanswerable questions.

A long time ago I became convinced that there was little - or possibly
no - history in the first 11 chapters of Genesis. It is all myth.
Which does not make it untrue, or useless. But its intent cannot be to
teach literal history. Anymore than Mark Twain's intent was to tell
the literal history of a real person named Huck Finn.

I'm not really pleased with where my thinking has led on this. I would
very much like, for instance, to see Glenn's theory of the flood at
least partially vindicated by discoveries on the Med sea bottom. But I
perceive this as a long shot.

Yeah -- I know the "slippery slope" argument. But the alternative
seems (to me) to be intellectual suicide.
