Chapter 7 the event of the world…or is it? Remember, all what you have read before here, is all in the location of Mesopotamie. They had never heard about Pandabears, Kangaroos, Penguins (thanks I. Belfor for adding that one to my list :D), so there isn’t any mention in the text about them. Another proof that the book is written by people that TRIED to understand stuff they SEE.
Now, the flood, seemed to be a ‘global’ happening, but of course that would both be physically and technically impossible (for the ground to NOT process the falling ‘rain’, it had to be pretty much a solid block of water coming down, yet it ‘rained’ for 40 days).
Now looking at how you should read the text, with reference to ancestors and history, this is the first part that makes a lot of sense all of a sudden. Read with me….
