[QUOTE="Vance, post: 44001676, member: 9478"] Is that a rhetorical question? It is obvious which one you SHOULD choose. But, really, what is the historical evidence that offsets all the accepted evidence? BTW, you do know that the Sumerian version of the flood, with many identical passages, predates Moses by hundreds of years, possibly up to 1,000 years? And it predates Abraham, who came from . . . guess where. Sumeria. So, what is more likely: 1. that Abraham and his family (some of whom, you will recall, kept their Sumerian gods) brought the Sumerian version they grew up with to Canaan where it was retold, hundreds of years later, by Abraham's descendants in the form we find in Scripture (which was obviously the version God wanted told for His own reasons, which need not have anything to do with literal history). 2. Abraham and his family knew the Sumerian version, and would have passed it down to their descendants, but at some point hundreds of years later, the Israelites developed an entire flood story completely independently which just happened to match the Sumerian version in many ways.
