20Something 2-1-06 Noah and the Flood

Last night's study has been posted at http://coh20something.blogspot.com

We had a great discussion about Noah and the flood and Scot, our co-leader, said something interesting that I had never thought of before. We've always been taught that during the flood the entire world was under water, but at that time without the aid of technology and communication, the area that Noah inhabited was the whole world. That was an area of the world that was just becoming populated and the peoeple there didn't know how far things extended beyond their experience, so when that area flooded it was natural to think that the entire world was in the same boat. (Pun intended.) An interesting thought. I guess it just depends upon your perspective, and whether or not you view the story of the flood as myth or history.
