Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

One possible piece of indirect evidence of a great flood, is connected to the end of the glacial period. Science says this process occurred from about 19,000 to about 8000 years ago. The theory is it began as sublimation of the glacial ice, into atmospheric gas. This added to the earth's rain and weather. Since the amount of the ice in the earth "ice cooler" was decreasing, the earth started to warm, which accelerated the melting of the ice, as the melted headed to 8000 years ago; oceans were rising. The question is how much did the sea level rise, and was there any large reservoirs of water that were dammed and released?

Man made global warming claims tens of million of people will be flooded out, by 2050 if we do nothing. From 19,000 years ago to 8000 years ago melted far more ice, displacing lots of animals and pre-humans, shifting the world coastlines. This could explain the Aborigine myths of a great flood, since they have around for 65,000 years, and would have been through this entire natural climate change cycle. Maybe we can learn from their ancient stories, from some humans who were eye witnesses from before to after.

If the flood never occurred in that time frame, maybe manmade climate change is creating a modern myth, since they say global flooding seems to have no evidence, even due to the long term natural impact of all that glacial melt. Only man made can do it, even without evidence; this is the first manmade example not yet done, therefore speculation of the future. You cannot have it both ways; dual standards of Liberalism.

Waynaboozhoo and the Great Flood

Native American Legends-Waynaboozhoo and the Great Flood.
Long ago the world was filled with evil. Men and women lost respect for each other. The Creator was unhappy about this and decided to cause a great flood to purify the earth.

A man named Waynaboozhoo survived. He turned some floating sticks and a log into a raft for the animals and himself. They floated around for a full moon waiting for the water to go down. It didn't, so Waynaboozhoo decided to do something about it. (there is more in the link above).

In terms of further Aborigine evidence, a 7000 year old Aborigine site was found in Australia, submerged below the ocean.

When people first arrived in Australia as early as 65,000 years ago, sea levels were around 80m lower than today.

Sea levels fluctuated but continued to fall as the global climate cooled. As the world plunged into the last ice age, which peaked around 20,000 years ago, sea levels dropped to 130m lower than they are now.

Between 18,000 and 8,000 years ago the world warmed up. Melting ice sheets caused sea levels to rise. Tasmania was cut off from the mainland around 11,000 years ago. New Guinea separated from Australia around 8,000 years ago.

The sea-level rise flooded 2.12 million square kilometres of land on the continental shelf surrounding Australia. Thousands of generations of people would have lived out their lives on these landscapes now under water.

Excuse me, but if the retreat of ice sheets occurred at the Pleistocene, about 11,600 years ago, then the floods would occur much earlier than the Early Bronze Age (c 3100 - c 2000 BCE), with the so-called Noah‘s Flood estimated in the later half of the 3rd millennium BC (between 2450 & 2300 BCE).

that would not be at the same time as your Australian Aborigine myth, of 5000 BCE.

Beside that, Australia had never experienced ice sheets during the glacial periods in the Pleistocene.

There are no doubts that flooding occurred, because it happened every years, but none of them on the scale as narrated in Genesis myth, that water covered high mountains.

And as Australia, is generally pretty flat, so I am not surprised it would flood in prehistoric times…but flooding no matter devastating, in the memories of Australian aborigines, on numbers of occasions, in their long history, nothing in it validated Genesis myth.

For anyone to verify Genesis Flood had happened, they must present evidence, not stories/myths.

The evidence have to be presented in every single continents - geological & archaeological - and those evidence must point to single point in time…so every continents.

No such evidence exist…there are many evidence of flooding, but none of them point to single date.

No, there is no question about how
much sea level has risen.
Geologists are not stupid.

And the rate at which sea level has
risen over thousands of years resembles the
genesis flood account about like i resemble godzilla.

Presenting flood-myth evidence like finding noahs ark?

Or that Antarctic ice isnt really there?

I don't know, but I was under the impression that the parts of the earth where humans lived were the ones effected. If not those, then a specific territory of people. I couldn't imagine a global flood where the entire earth lay under water, despite the common assumptions that it was speaking about the entire earth. Apparently, wherever this happened was in **** poor conditions and a great deal of unjust and irresponsible violence was occurring.

Whenever what event happened?

Exactly, and geologists know that the sea level during the last ice age dropped enough so as to create a land bridge from southeastern Asia to Australia, and this likely the time that the Māori and Aborigines came across.
