Geology and the Great Flood

New scientific studies have shown that if you dont take the bible in its "literalle" meaning then the Great Flood very likely happened. Every thousand years the Mesopotamia valley inbetween the tigris and the eufrates river floods. (and there is geological evidence to prove this.) Once a millinea the rains come to this desert and it rains for weeks and months. Now there are theories that Noah was a acutally a rich merchant that had many boats.(of coarse none as big as in the Bible, because supposidely a ship that big made out of wood would leak alot and then fail, and break under the great weight and pressure.) But when the floods came he gathered all of his family and all the animals he could find. He would have tied all of his many small boats together to make an average sized boat.(probably 20-40ft long) and when the mesopotamia valley flooded it would have looked like the earth flooded to the people living there since they would not have been able to see land. Then he would have probably have floated into the persian gulf and then onto an african island where him and his family would live out the rest of there lives. Ancient scribes would have written about this great flood and Noah, and it would probably be Exaggerated a little each time it was told or rewritten. Once it was written into the bible it was different than the original story, but the moral is the same.

yeah i saw that discovery channel show too. It's were i got that story. If alot of people saw it then we will have alot to discuss about it.

should i talk about it in my great debate thread? or would it be off topic.
