The Biblical Flood Could Have Been a Local Event Based On The Bible Itself

One of the skeptic’s claims against the Hebrew Bible is that the universal flood in the book of Genesis could not have happened. First they claim there is no archaeological layer of a mass flood throughout the world. Second, such a flood would have changed the rotation of the world so it couldn’t have happened based on physics. However all these objections may be based on faulty understanding and mistranslation of the Hebrew Bible. The flood as depicted may have been more of a local event. It is normally translated this way in Genesis chapter 6 verses 11–13: “ Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” <a href="https://medium.com/@stuartz2727/the-biblical-flood-could-have-been-a-local-event-based-on-the-bible-itself-4ca4846fc663">Website</a>
