The ark story is worldwide, in every part of the world when investigated enough. It seems it really happened, a global phenomenon, but that southern gothic biblical thing is silliness inc.

@Ohplease47 I could spend the next half hour deconstructing exactly why a global flood followed by a recovery of all life on Earth is ridiculous and impossible, but it's my bedtime, so just pretend I did.

@ItsMeMorgue I bet you didn't make your research there are 71% of water more than land on earth that's enough evidence for you

@OluwoleFemiJacob for what,?

@OluwoleFemiJacob I bet you didn't realize that's still not nearly enough to cover the entire planet in water for an entire year. It's not even enough to cover the entire planet for one day. And even if it was, even if somehow the entire planet did get covered in water for an entire year, all plant life on the planet would die. In addition to that, all aquatic life forms would be dead, because the saltwater fish wouldn't get enough salt, and the freshwater fish would be exposed to too much salt. Every lake, every river, every ocean would be dead, and all the plants and trees on the land would be dead. So before we even get into the impossibility of cramming every single terrestrial life form into a little boat, you're looking at a mass extinction event from which the planet would never recover. It would be the tipping point. Because guess what? That would all happen in the first 40 days and 40 nights while it was raining. It would kill everything. So even if Noah had some magical, miraculous dimension warping boat that could fit between two and seven of every single animal on the entire planet, when they got out of the boat, they would find a dead wasteland, spanning the entire planet.
