"We do n't ignore it . We look at the circumstances-all these stories are from civilizations/groups that live on or near flood plains . Floods are common place . Catastrophic floods , not so much . You , however , must ignore things ."
"Sure you ignore , excuse , justify and interpret any and all info according to your own preconceived notions and comfort zones . Not to mention according to your fleshly understanding which completely ignores the supernatural nature of the great flood . That 's why you come up with foolishness like every one of these stories took place in flood plains , as if you could ever prove that at all based on current topography . And yet you boldly make the claim as if it 's some proven fact . And you guys will say that the story of Gilgamesh precedes the writing of Genesis , therefore Genesis must have stolen the story from the Babylonians rather them being separate records of the same event . What ignorance and rationalization that is in order to justify a fallacious denial of the Genesis account . Here 's an example why that is . There are hundreds of books written about the Moon Landing . So there is obviously a first account written about it . And I 'm sure that years later , other books were also written on that same exact event . Are those later books lies ? Or were their facts stolen from the prior books , or taken from the event itself , just as the first book was ? So you see , your excuses and attempts to dismiss the great flood for such irrational reasons do n't make any sense at all ."
