I survived the Chicago Flood of 2008!

The other day, Peter and I were having a conversation about the actual feasibility of Noah's flood. Peter had his doubts. I conceded that the whole thing with the pairs animals on the boat did sound unrealistic. But Peter doubted the accumulation of water itself. Surely, it would run off somewhere? Wouldn't it?
Well, let me tell you, if the rain of the past three days lasted for another 37, I'd be building a boat, and making sure everyone on it has a friend (and a deck of cards).
Here's evidence from the vicinity of Pulaski and Foster in Chicago:

There is actually a lot of evidence that the flood story actually comes from the breaking of the Bosphorus strait into the Black Sea.

It was at the end of the last Ice Age and raised the water level up a couple hundred feet in a very short period of time. It also changed it from a fresh water lake into a salt water one (fitting in the the Gilgamesh tales).

I have a book about it around here somewhere, I can look if you are interested in more of it.

oh, and the farmers in that area, had, and still have, a tradition of putting their herds on boats to transport them from home to the pastures.

I remember hearing a radio story about some archeological finds at the bottom of the Black Sea, maybe near Odessa. Ad, of course, there is a Greek myth about the flood too.

Yes, I agree with my Bible collection, this blog is very rich. I, too, it is checked at least once. For those who are grateful for the various English Bible, you can join Wycliffe Bible Translators'Bibleless people of prayer project. If you sign up, you will get information on a group of people, but not the Bible (not to mention sheep bound!) prayer. My family is their second group. You can Google it.
