I "just" provided videos.....and evidence for floods. I provided evidence for a worldwide catastrophe/flood Linear, not lots of local floods, please re-read the information given. You specifically requested something other than written/oral history and it was given to you as CTD has also pointed out. What more do you want? A visitation from the ghost of Noah? Not only have I given fossil pictures and a link to the fossil museum site, but posted videos (which I doubt you have even viewed) containing lots of evidence that points to a worldwide flood (far more than I could ever hope to pass on), but I have also shared the incredible "coincidences" (I believe evidence) for the existence of the 8 people and the ark in the very area that the bible states they all landed and the incredible evidence surrounding that place, which seems to indicate the biblical account was the true account (no surprise there).
I viewed one video and read the accounts you posted. They give evidence for massive floods due to the piles of fossils amassed in certain areas. What they don't portray is the fact that the fossils of marine life on mountains have undergone different conditions (high temperature and massive compression over long periods of time) than the mammoths or other creatures shown in the other examples of mass killings. It doesn't mention problems with flood theory, like Angular unconformities where sediments are laid down in layers, then tilted and eroded, then new sediments are deposited on top. How does a global flood simultaneously deposit, tilt, and erode in the same exact place?

Even if they irrefutably supported a global flood, there is no more support for the Bible version of the global flood than there is for the Hindu version. So how do I know to follow your God or theirs as the true God?

What is it about the bible that you have such an aversion to that you'd almost jump to anything else, so long as it's not corresponding with the biblical account? Is the idea that the accounts within this holy book being a reality distasteful to you because of the moral implications if it turns out the bible is an accurate historical account?
What I have is an aversion to those who hide behind a literal Bible as an excuse to spout their hatred and control others. I don't say you are one of those but I have met many who are. Your claim that I am immoral is a bit over the top, don't you think? I don't think that we should kill others except in defense of ourselves and to protect people. I don't steal...much (time from my boss, a pencil here and there...etc). What moral lapses are you accusing me of? Why would you think you know the reasons I don't buy everything the Bible says? I obviously know a bit about what it does say...I've read it many times. Maybe I don't accept all its precepts BECAUSE I have some knowledge about what it says and didn't accept that it is literally true before I read it.
