According to both testaments, the flood story warns the world of the final judgments that are to come, so they may flee to the safety of God's salvation.
And why do we know it works? Because YOU are still "into the story", and like most skeptics, far more concerned with God judging the world by ancient waters than by God saving the world through the Christ.
You raelly should get a job as a psychic, the way you
"know" things about other people.
Did you know your book suggests that you not bear false witness?
The actual reason for interest in the "flood"
here really just some cultural anthropology.
Study the habits of the natives sort of thing.
Find out just how many double back flips into
crazed denial they can get, to avoid facing
the reality that all their precious belief
hinges on whether the story is bs.
I've learned some amazing things in the process!
Like, that all the extra water from the flood was
wafted by a wind to Neptune, where it shines to
this day as a warning beacon against incoming rogue
angels.
That the polar ice was lifted by the flood, sure, but\a circumpolar current kept it in place, and it set back
down just so as the flood receded.
Oh and concern about "god" judging the world?
My biggie is that Allah is gonna get me for exposing
my hair in public! I just am so in the thrall of sin
that I cannot stop myself. And he is going to get me
good hanging me by may hair in eternal fire.
Alas, the temptation to let my hair show is just too great!
