The flood story happens at the very beginning of the Bible right after we have our account of creation with Adam and Eve. Anyone who has spent much time in biblical research or knows much about their Bible knows that the flood is near the beginning of time as far as biblical history is concerned. “The Lord saw how great man’s wic

We know God’s reasoning for taking out the human race with a flood. The human race at that time was evil and wicked. So God chooses to create a flood that in the Biblical narrative says that it was a flood that covered the whole globe, “The waters rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered” (Gen. 7:19). According to this passage, you can see the Bible clearly states the flood covered the whole earth. The debate that has gone on forever about whether this was a worldwide flood or a localized flood that wiped out all of humankind in the particular area. There are good arguments for both and I think one who is going to be a biblical scholar should know both sides of the argument and try to come to a conclusion for themselves.

These questions are ones you must ask yourself as you are studying the flood, trying to determine where and when it should fit into our history, and if it even happened. The Bible says it happened and other cultures provide a story that includes a flood narrative. Some people say the flood could have never happened or was not as extreme as the bible made it out to be based on how many different animal species there are throughout the earth.

I also had to take into account the promise God made with Noah at the end of the flood. Genesis 9:11 says “I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will the be a flood to destroy the earth.” I interpret that to mean God will never again flood the entire earth. Since this is true, it seems God has kept his promise to the generations. There have been floods, but they have not been worldwide and have not killed off the entire human race. However, if the flood was only local then God has lied to us and has broken his promise numerous times.

In the Bible we have the flood narrative for a reason. God wants us to learn something valuable from this narrative. The account talks of a catastrophic deluge that covered the whole earth. God chose Noah to build an ark to hold his family and the animals on it so that they could repopulate the globe. When you read this story you need to understand exactly what point God was trying to make when he put it in the Bible. It seems to come down to your interpretation of the bible and what you believe to be true in your own studies. For as many arguments there are that the flood was only a local flood or the Tigris river flooded more than usual there are just as many arguments by scientists about the validity of a worldwide flood and the catastrophic impact it had on the globe.

However after the discovery of the new world people had an even harder
