--TRADITIONS OF A GLOBAL FLOOD~~

-- The only credible way to understand the widespread, similar flood legends is to recognize that all people living today—even though separated geographically, linguistically, and culturally—have descended from the few real people who survived a real global flood on a real boat that eventually landed on a real mountain. Their descendants now fill the globe, never to forget the real event.

But, of course, this is not the view of most modern scholars. They prefer to believe that something in our commonly evolved psyche somehow forces each culture to invent the same imaginary flood legend with no basis in real history.
Instead of scholarship, this is “willful ignorance” of the fact that “the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water” (2 Peter 3:5-6).
