Personally I think that the float that is spoken of in the story of Noach, isn't just a small coastal region that has been floated, but it must have been an entire continent that has sunk in the sea: So there are 2 possibilities:
1) the water rises
2) the land sunk into the ocean.
Someone in this discussion remarks that there always has been land, which keeps his mountains above the water. We also need to consider that at the time of the noachian flood, not the whole world was known to the humans. So when the myth tells us that there is no land anymore, for 40 day and 40 nights, then this means, that there could have been land, but that the land was not known to the human race.
Personally I think it was the main continent of the humans that has been sunk into the sea. On this continent humanity was created. For the Dawinists this means that the monkeys evolved their brain until they hath consciousness, and therefore we speak of humans. Humanity has lived on this continent as long as they existed. They could find whatever they needed, and because it was u huge island, they didn't know any other continents.
I also consider that there could have been more then one major flood catastrophe.
But when was the last flood? For me it is most likely the period of the last major glacier retreat. If I put on a date of this let's say 10,700 B.C. plus or minus 300 years.
I know this is more then a thousand years earlier then Plato writes in his dialogues Timaeos and Kritias, about the end of Atlantis. But after all this is a religion forum, and for me you belief with you hearth and not with logic. So I declare that I belief that it was in 10,700 BC, so lets just let each other in our own truth and respect that. I have no need to convince any of you of my ideas, I want you to take knowledge of them. You do with it whatever you like!
