The Flood

I grew up to believe that The Flood happened because that is what I learned in Sunday school. But I mean when you actually think about it, I don’t really think it happened. I mean this is a Sunday school story that starts off with genocide, there also isn’t scientific evidence that there was a giant flood that covered the whole world. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I think that something happened I just don’t think it was a global flood. Something definitely occurred that caused so many flood stories and accounts to be written. There are many similarities between these stories of the flood especially between The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Biblical Flood, but there are also differences as well. I think we should be focusing more on not if the flood actually occurred but what the stories are trying to say just like most things in the Bible. There are many things in the bible that don’t make sense scientifically but back then the people reading these stories didn’t look at things scientifically but for the messages within. That is what we should be doing with all the stories in the Bible God put them in there for a reason so we can learn something from them not because they were true but because there are a message and lesson to be learned. The main thing in the Bible we know to be true because there is so much evidence to prove it is that Jesus really existed and Died on the cross, I’m sure there are other things as well, but we need to stop looking for proof and needed things to be real to be true.
