In Islam , and in the Quran the story of Noah is mentioned The only difference is that the measures of the ship is not mentioned and it’s not specified if the flood covered the whole earth or not.
there is no where in the Quran where it specifically says “all of the earth was flooded” So A lot of scholars believe only the people of Noah were flooded and regions surrounding them and uncertain that all spots on earth were submerged under water
In my own opinion, I don’t believe it was all of the earth
Reminds me of one of my favorite John Prine songs ....
"...I got kicked off of Noah's Ark I turn my cheek to unkind remarks There was two of everything But one of me And when the rains came tumbling down I held my breath and I stood my ground And I watched that ship go sailing Out to sea ..."
" ...Adelie penguins migrate in an 8,000-mile circle around the Ross Sea off Antarctica, on "fast ice" that develops during the winter. Doing so means they stay in sunlight, the clockwise migration taking them back to land and their breeding colonies for the summer months..."
@Heartlander Keep that “hmmmm” to yourself. You’re saying that because they can travel 8000 miles in their natural habitat that they can waddle hundreds of miles in the desert? You do realize this also has to apply to all Antarctic mammals too, right? You have walruses, seals, sea lions, etc these animals would immediately die the second they would set foot in that environment. Please come back to reality.
@Lostpoet This is what meant; other traveling thousands of miles to get to the Middle East they would’ve had to traverse on land in an environment that would’ve killed them on arrival
@Lostpoet can you provide the verse to support this because this goes against the teachings of almost every denomination and every die hard christian on this site will fight you on that.
@Khonsu I can't and it's really just layman's thinking. I don't really believe in a world flood where everything got cleansed. I believe there was an unusual flood and the Noah's Ark story came out of that to teach a spiritual lesson.
