Noah's Flood (Revisit)

I am now reading a book "The Science of God" by Gerald L Schroeder and will be discussing some of its contents in the next few blog entries.

Please refer to entry "Noah's Flood" dated 13 January 2008 in the Archive.

It was revealed in Gen 6-8 that during Noah's Flood about 4,100 years ago, only Noah's family survived.

The author Gerald Schroeder had observed that native civilizations in America did not show a break in lineage about 4,100 years ago.

The Ark had supposedly rested on a mountain in Ararat (Armenia ) when the flood water subsided. But there were many other mountains in the world higher than those in Armenia! Hence there may be persons/tribes, other than Noah and his family, who had survived the Flood.

The author also noted that the Hebrew text used to indicate the flooded Earth was 'Aretz', whereas the Hebrew text used to indicate the face of the Earth was 'Adamah'. It is possible that Noah's Flood was not over all the face of the Earth, but only a limited geological area only.

Hence the Earth was not re-populated on Noah's family ALONE after the Flood.

Mystery solved.
