Great and surprise surprise they all read that Noah was involved in a global flood.
The idea of a local flood is an idea you are reading into the bible.
Noah's flood is a picture of our baptism...the world/all flesh consumed...when the dove was sent out and found no place to rest the soles of her feet until we see her descending upon Jesus at His baptism in the Jordan...

There is no evidence of these cracks in folded rock.
Of course there are cracks in folded rocks, and these pictures show them.

According to Gerald Schroeder MIT and Harvard libraries have hundreds of thousands of book. None of those books contradict the Bible. All of the books show us how accurate and true the Bible is.

Then without a doubt, you agree with the scriptures?

And if you agree with scriptures, then you must see that this was not a local flood but a world wide flood.

Undeniable verses that tell you, and imply, world wide:

Genesis 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Genesis 7

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

I really do not see how this can be confused with local.

There may be several grains of truth to the flood mythology of Noah and similar mythologies from elsewhere in the ancient Middle East. About 25 years ago it was discovered (" Noah's Flood" by Ryan and Pitman) that in antiquity the Black Sea was a freshwater lake with a water level at least 155 meters (510 feet) below its present level. It was cut off from the Mediterranean Sea by a silt plug in the Straits of Bosporus. This plug broke through about 5600 BC due primarily to the dramatic rise in sea levels caused by the melting that ended the last ice age.. It created an immense waterfall whose sound was most likely audible for 100 or more miles. The Black Sea basin filled to its present level over a period of several weeks. It is estimated that the shore line advanced at the rate of a mile or more per day. For the people living around the lake it was a catastrophe of immense magnitude. It was likely the single most memorable flood in all of human history. The racial memory of this event probably inspired the Gilgamesh epic which in turn inspired the Noah narrative in the Bible. The evidence for this flood is scientifically solid. This prompted the National Geographic Society to finance an underwater search along the ancient shoreline for evidence of pre-flood human habitation. This search has been successful! A settlement has been found at a depth of 90 meters approximately 12 miles off the coast of Turkey. It is in a remarkable state of preservation because it is located in an area of the Black Sea where the water is completely devoid of oxygen with the effect that biological decomposition does not take place. This means that wooden artifacts such as tools, planks, housing beams etc are preserved intact. What is also quite amazing is that while there is solid scientific evidence for this local flood some 7600 YBP, there is no evidence at all for a worldwide flood just 4300 YBP. One would think that a more recent, more catastrophic event would have wiped out evidence of the earlier Black Sea event. There is also evidence for a similar event causing the flooding of the Gulf of Arabia about 10,000 YBP.

I assume what you are asking for is scientific evidence going back to the time of Noah when Noah was alive here on the earth. This would involve evidence like archeology and that would require a time and a place. Just WHEN and WHERE did Noah's flood take place.
Yes, this would be a start, of course!
Noah was a real live historical person.
So, this is the Claim - that "Noah was a real live historical person", what evidence do you have to support this claim?
The question is what flooded. According to Bible Hub the word is bā·’ā·reṣ with 155 Occurrences. So YOU have to wake up and smell the coffee. What does bā·’ā·reṣ mean and just exactly what was flooded. Genesis 5:11 "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." "13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
So, this is another claim, let's leave reasons and the why-fors out for the time being and work on substantiating the claim first. In fact, since much of this is reliant on the account of Genesis, perhaps we should start out by verifying why this should be taken at face value straight up? as in Why should I believe the bible?
Right now the evidence from Google earth satellite photos indicated that the the area of Noah's flood is under the Persian Gulf. This is based on Genesis 2:10 "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
Could you point to some of these satellite images, or at the very least, the article you reference that point this out?
After the river left the garden of eden it parted into four rivers. So if you want to find the Garden of Eden and the location for Noah's flood you have to study the remains of ancient rivers. We do this using the cameras on space satellites developed for use by the military. This is new technology and this gives us new information that past generations did not have available for them to use when trying to understand the story of Noah & what we read about Noah in our Bible. Could be someone in the military right now using space photos of the Persian gulf to make a determination of exactly what flooded and where the Garden of Eden was.
......sooooooo, you don't have these satellite images? and therefore don't have evidence?? So I have this right, are you saying this evidence is 'going' to come because advance satellite imagery is needed and the military might have it and maybe someone is looking for the garden of eden in the millitary? Are you for real?
Lost Civilization May Have Existed Beneath the Persian Gulf
This all makes sense - even the bit at the end about all the religions in the area carrying a similar flood myth that matches the timeframe in question. I do note there's nothing in there about an ark, or noah, or wiped out civilizations, etc. Nothing in here matches your river parting four ways, etc. so not sure why you referenced it here?
What other evidence do we have?
Wait, What? What 'Other' evidence?? What evidence have you provided already? Bible quotes and unsubstantiated conjecture is not evidence!
Lets think about what exactly was ON Noah's ARK. Again you want scientific evidence so we have to go to the experts on Botany, or the ancient plants in the Middle East. The experts have PhD's on the evolution of plants. Mostly they publish in peer review articles. Sometimes they put a collection of articles into a book. They are professors and teach at the universities in Jerusalem. This is what we call experts. I have actually done a far amount of study on this if anyone wants to have a conversation about it.
Well, if you claim to have evidence, then perhaps we can start there, because so far you haven't actually provided evidence to speak of - Do you even understand the nature of scientific evidence? I don't think you do...
I ONLY want to make ONE comment right now. IF you put the plant seeds on the ark the plant is no longer a wild plant is is now domesticated.
Poppycock. Citation please, feel free to reference those peer-reviewed scientific articles anytime you're ready.
Wild plants require the wind or natural elements to distribute their seeds. Cultivated plants requires man to be a part of the equation. Everything on Noah's Ark was domesticated nothing was wild. All the plants and all of the animals from the Garden of Eden was on Noah's Ark.
Assertions upon assertions. Where is the EVIDENCE! Especially about the wild/cultivated plants thing - maybe some more of this claimed evidence from your 'experts on Botany'?
Evolutionary theory tells us a LOT about the Garden of Eden. Evolutionary theory knows a lot about Bio Diverse Eco Systems. From beginning to end. This is why science uses the words: "Adam", "Eve" & "Eden" a lot. We know exactly who Adam and Eve in the Bible were because we have their genealogies in the Bible. Abraham, Noah, Moses, David and Jesus were all descended from the Adam and Eve we read about in our Bible. We know Adam and Eve in the Bible that lived 6,000 years ago were Hebrew or Jewish or whatever the correct term is.
You're going too have to start quoting some peer-reviewed science, or provide evidence in support of all these claims. I am aware that cultural references are made to findings such as mitochondrial Eve and Y chromosomal Adam, but these simply do not match the timeframes or narrative of any religious texts and are only referenced to bring instant recognition to the science in context, not because there is any sort of biblical verification I'm *sorry to tell you...
God gave the descendants of Abraham the entire Arab Continental Plate. This area 1500 miles by 1500 miles in the future will be the New Jerusalem.
But, no evidence, right?
Abraham's covenant with God is perpetual from age to age and from generation to generation. This is a big fight among the descendants of Abraham for the land and the mineral rights to the land and the air space above their land. This is a fight between the son of Abraham's wife Sarah and the son from Sarah's handmaiden the Egyptian Hagar. Gentiles are adopted into the family of God (Abraham) We are not natural descendants of Abraham. We are wild branches grafted into a domesticated tree because the natural branches did not produce fruit and they were thrown into the fire.
And still no evidence though?
Genesis 2 "8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."
Of course, no evidence?
I could go on and on about all of this. Lots of books could be written to show evidence for Noah and Noah's flood. This is just a post: pixels on a computer screen. So I am limited on just how much evidence I can give you one post.
I'm sure you could go on, but this is completely insignificant as far as Science is concerned. You have almost exclusively posted biblical quotes and personal opinion as if it were scientifically valid, and it just isn't. The one thing you did link that was based on scientific evidence doesn't support your claims (I'm happy if you were to provide an explanation on why you think it's relevant?). When you're ready, please provide some scientifically valid evidence so we might analyze it together.

* no I'm not

Yes, this would be a start, of course!
Exactly, this media is limited. Many many books would be needed to show all of the evidence. WE can not present the abundant overwhelming amount of evidence on a tiny little post like this.
So, this is the Claim - that "Noah was a real live historical person", what evidence do you have to support this claim?
I am simply telling you that is what the Bible says. That is what Bishop Usshers book says. The people in the Bible are real people. The scientific evidence for this is consistent with the scientific evidence that substantiates all genealogies: DNA. Every man, women and child that has ever lived is on the family tree of the human race. When we get heaven we will see the family tree for every person we are related to. Of course there will be branches cut off because they were not productive and they did not produce fruit. We are told that those branches will be thrown into the fire and God will remember them no more.
Could you point to some of these satellite images, or at the very least, the article you reference that point this out?
Just run a google search guy. Get real. You people may have been born with a silver spoon but somewhere along they way you are going to start to need to feed yourself and quit expecting others to do your work for you. God is going to hold you accountable.
You're going too have to start quoting some peer-reviewed science
I am quoting the Biology book that you were suppose to read in High School. How old are you? I mean I took High School Biology back in the 60's so at least I have an excuse for not learning this stuff in High School. But I buy used text books off of Google for about $5 for what was a very expensive book but is somewhat outdated. Usually it is just one chapter that needed to be rewritten so we can check into that to be sure the book is accurate and up to date other than that chapter. My son says they want the students to have the most recent revisions so they can use page references and people know where to find the information in the book.

With the abundance of very low cost used text books, people are simply without excuse if they do not keep up with this stuff all of their lives. My ancient history teacher in High School lived to be 100 and he was surrounded by books he was reading right up to the end of his life.
You have almost exclusively posted biblical quotes and personal opinion as if it were scientifically valid,
You are missing the point. I am showing you the parts of the Bible that we have scientific evidence for. We are talking about Abraham and his descendants. The evidence is in the research they are doing on DNA. You can study haplotypes or not, that is up to you. But I am not going to spoon feed it to you. Your going to have to put a little bit of effort into this IF you want to know the truth. In this case you can read up on haplotypes in Wiki Haplotype - Wikipedia. In the Bible we are talking about the Cohan haplotype or y chromosome aaron. Y-chromosomal Aaron - Wikipedia

Of course we have mitochondrial halo-types also if you want to read and study on this. Evolution calls this common ancestor. The theory of evolution gives us so much evidence for the Bible that it makes me wonder why people have a problem with the theory.

"The hypothetical woman at the root of all these groups (meaning just the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for all currently living humans. She is commonly called Mitochondrial Eve." (wiki)

I realize we are not in the third grade any more. Not even in the fifth grade. But we are still well within High School Biology and this is required for a person to graduate from High School. At least in the state I live in.

Of course, no evidence?
I have tons of evidence. Hundreds of thousands of science books that proves the Bible is true beyond any reasonable doubt. You have to abandon reason if you want to deny the truth we find in our Bible.

There may be several grains of truth to the flood mythology of Noah
The flood is not a myth it is a paradigm. There is a huge difference. Just like evolution theory is not a myth is it a paradigm. This is why we have paradigm shifts in science and even paradigm shifts in how we define evolutionary theory. A new synthesis: Neo Darwinism for example, makes for a paradigm shift.

We have an exact place and a exact point in time for Noah's flood. That makes the flood a paradigm because it is literal and not a metaphor.

Yes I provided you evidence for the Garden of Eden: Your High School Biology book. More exactly the chapter or unit in your high school biology book on bio diverse Eco system or ecology. We can keep going over and over this if you want. I personally am a slow learner and I need many reputations. So I have a bit of understanding for people that just do not get it the first time around.

Also I talked about the evidence provided by the PhD professors in Botney at the Universities in Jerusalem. Here is a link for you on ancient plants in the middle east. Just a little bit of research and you can see that modern science verifies the Bible to be accurate and true. I give you key words to use for a google search. "ancient plants in the middle east" will give you lots of scientific references that will verify that the Bible is true and accurate by today's standards in science.

Then without a doubt, you agree with the scriptures?

And if you agree with scriptures, then you must see that this was not a local flood but a world wide flood.
I think you need to look the word up in Hebrew. There is clearly a difference between the word adamah and the word erets. "Adamah (Biblical Hebrew : אדמה) is a word, translatable as ground or earth, which occurs in the Biblical account of Creation of the Book of Genesis." (Wiki) Adamah is a word used for the land that Adam came from. Eden in the Bible was a bio diverse eco system. This is something you can read about in your High School Biology book .

Also you have to realize that Noah's flood is a Paradigm that has many meaning and applications. So the Bible needs to be very exact and precise in the way this Paradigm is presented. We see this when Moses talks about the temple. Every tiny detail in the temple has meaning and a lesson to be learned.

Noah's flood as a paradigm represents a world wide flood. But his flood in his day was what we would call a local flood. You got to get real and join us in the real world. There is overwhelming scientific evidence to show that Noah's flood was NOT a world wide flood.

It seems that seasons started then too.
The seasons are caused by the moon holding the earth at a tilt.

"Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun. But this tilt changes. During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years, the tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Because this tilt changes, the seasons as we know them can become exaggerated."

Milutin Milankovitch : Feature Articles

There was a huge change in world climate at the TIME of the break up of Pangaea. This is a time when "the windows of the heavens were opened." The atmosphere was NOT so dense and humid after this event took place. This is why the paradigm we read about with Noah is so exact. The reptiles that survived were turtles and alligators. They still require a very wet living conditions. This was the beginning of mammals and primates that we see on the earth today.

Surely though you could provide at leaast something of substance? This isn't hard if as you say there is in fact evidence of a scientific nature to support this.
I am simply telling you that is what the Bible says. That is what Bishop Usshers book says. The people in the Bible are real people. The scientific evidence for this is consistent with the scientific evidence that substantiates all genealogies: DNA. Every man, women and child that has ever lived is on the family tree of the human race. When we get heaven we will see the family tree for every person we are related to. Of course there will be branches cut off because they were not productive and they did not produce fruit. We are told that those branches will be thrown into the fire and God will remember them no more.
I could say that I'm closely related to the Queen of England and scientific evidence would also be consistent with my claim too - doesn't make it real though. To demonstrate that is the actual case, I would require Evidence. Perhaps DNA Evidence, or birth records could be contributory (but not overwhelming) evidence too. Again, what you're providing here is wind and no evidence.
Just run a google search guy. Get real. You people may have been born with a silver spoon but somewhere along they way you are going to start to need to feed yourself and quit expecting others to do your work for you. God is going to hold you accountable.
Really? I searched "satellite garden of eden" and got nothing of value (scientifically speaking of course). Here's some links and my observations off the first page:

Gerard Wakefield's Articles
This is a 2002 article (so I guess this is as far as they got...) talking about how they think they found a 'fossilized river' along with some but the search continues...

This article: Has the Garden of Eden been located at last? (which refers to this article: Has the Garden of Eden been located at last?) talks about the possibility of two locations, again refers to this fossil river and conjectures over how the original Garden of Eden could be buried under miles of sediments never to be found again.... but no evidence apart from the inferred connection because of the bible.

We then have this short article: Is THIS where the Garden of Eden stood? Researchers claim to have discovered biblical site which like the others (but more conveniently cuts out the 99% of conjecture beforehand) goes on to say that "No present topography or underground surface could possibly bear any resemblance to the pre-flood world.”, so again, no evidence...

Then there's this: http://www.israel-a-history-of.com/biblical-garden-of-eden.html- it seems though that this is just biblical references and conjecture with nought in the way of non-biblical references short of the archaeological work that has so far failed to yield anything of value in support of the biblical Adam and Eve in their garden of eden, a worldwide flood and of Noah and his family repopulating the world (or the middle east depending on your outlook..... neither of which bears out in the evidence btw).

There's also this: Proof of the Garden of Eden which is a rehash of some of the aforementioned links repeating the same ... <cough> "State of the Art" satellite imagery and archaeological discoveries (that still aren't definitive by their own admissions) from 1987 through 1996, and nothing since.

And Finally (for a fresh breath of rationality), there's This article from Creation.com: Has the Garden of Eden been found? - creation.com - Here the author lays out logical reasons why the two sites bandied around on 20 to 30 year old LANDSAT images and conjecture as being possible sites of the Garden of Eden are NOT contenders at all. I certainly don't agree with their reasons for discounting these locations as biblically substantiated, but nonetheless, they don't agree and give logically sound reasons (even though I believe flawed premises) to disregard all of these claims.
A point of observation here, Google Satellite imagery is much more accurate than these ones referenced in all these articles, perhaps someone somewhere has tried looking into all this since? Anyway, Doing my own research just highlights the fact you need to substantiate your case, I researched your nonsense and found nonsense. Feel free to pick up your game. If your God were real, and gave me a mind with which to reason, then who is he to complain when I reason in a way he doesn't like, how is that my mistake? How can you be sure some other God isn't set to condemn you for following the wrong God? As I understand it, the Egyptian Gods that predate the Judeo-Christian religions were trickster Gods (as were the Greek & Roman Gods that formed in their shadows too).
I am quoting the Biology book that you were suppose to read in High School. How old are you? I mean I took High School Biology back in the 60's so at least I have an excuse for not learning this stuff in High School. But I buy used text books off of Google for about $5 for what was a very expensive book but is somewhat outdated.

NONE of the high school biology text books spruik any nonsense about Adam and Eve or Noah and his family that we're all allegedly descended from. At least drop a reference to whatever it is thinks supports your claim so we can see it for the rubbish it actually is.
You are missing the point. I am showing you the parts of the Bible that we have scientific evidence for. We are talking about Abraham and his descendants. The evidence is in the research they are doing on DNA. You can study haplotypes or not, that is up to you. But I am not going to spoon feed it to you.

In the Bible we are talking about the Cohan haplotype or y chromosome aaron. Y-chromosomal Aaron - Wikipedia
Nothing in this research about populations that are alive today speaks to there being an Abraham or Noah or even Adam. Feel free to present it if you have any...
Of course we have mitochondrial halo-types also if you want to read and study on this. Evolution calls this common ancestor. The theory of evolution gives us so much evidence for the Bible that it makes me wonder why people have a problem with the theory.

"The hypothetical woman at the root of all these groups (meaning just the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for all currently living humans. She is commonly called Mitochondrial Eve." (wiki)

I realize we are not in the third grade any more. Not even in the fifth grade. But we are still well within High School Biology and this is required for a person to graduate from High School. At least in the state I live in.
I agree (with Evolution being fact), but I find that YEC and Fundamentalists frequently discount the Theory of Evolution because it doesn't support their pet belief, facts be damned... Since we're still very light on supporting evidence, perhaps any info about this mitochondrial eve (circa 150,000BCE) supporting your assertions might help your case??
I have tons of evidence. Hundreds of thousands of science books that proves the Bible is true beyond any reasonable doubt. You have to abandon reason if you want to deny the truth we find in our Bible.

Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD,
Then for Pete's Sake, Supply Something, Anything at all to support your case!!! Why keep it all to yourself if you seem to think it's so relevant??

.... This has nothing to do with the Bible. There's nothing about anything to support your 'seeds on the Ark' conjecture - could you try explaining why this is supposed to support your claim?

I already have. Are you reading my posts? I am giving you plenty of scientific evidence for what we read in our Bible. As much as I can with the media we are using. The problem is YOU have to do something and you can not expect others to do for you what only you can do for yourself.

I already have. Are you reading my posts? I am giving you plenty of scientific evidence for what we read in our Bible. As much as I can with the media we are using. The problem is YOU have to do something and you can not expect others to do for you what only you can do for yourself.
Do me the courtesy of addressing my points! You don't just get to ignore each and every one of my legitimate addressals pretending I either didn't make them or that they othewise don't count.

You started this thread to provide all this 'supposed' evidence so you can't be taken seriously if you then pull a stunt like this.

Address my arguments or concede the point.

Of course there are cracks in folded rocks, and these pictures show them.

Thank you for showing a picture that shows just what I've been talking about.
Your picture alse has labeled 'a fault' that while it is a crack was not produced by the process of folding the rocks while still plastic.

Haaving produced the poicture can you explain how they were folded?

Here's a basic introduction to structural geology you probably need to look at. In particular, slides 5-8, 13, 29-39,for coverage on what & how folds in rock occurs without cracks.

then there's this one, note slides 8 and 19-26
Then lastly, this one (all of it) should be read, even if it's the only one you do look at.

A global flood would have global consquences.
Yes, this is true. In spite of "evidence" given by young earth creationists, there is no evidence for a global flood. Or I should say, the evidence presented is woefully inadequate when compared with the evidence of modern geological science. I mean, heck; there is even evidence that the moon landing was a hoax, that the earth is flat, that 9/11 was via demolition not airplanes, chemtrails, and etc.
