I am not saying that I believe that there was an entire global flood, but I do believe that there was a great flood.

In that whole flood story I am sorry only for Noah, that poor devil...

I stated that, "I am not saying that I believe in..." In other words, I was stating that I was not sure. I'm not sure that there was water that covered the entire world, but I do believe that there was a great flood which covered the land mass, and perhaps in some places more severe than others.

Noah didn't have time for sleep.
He had to spend his nights impregnating his wives to ensure the world's population could bloom to over 7 billion people from 8 in a little over four thousand years...

So you don't believe what the Church teaches then?
(That the whole earth was completely covered by water circa 2,300 bc and only Noah and his small family of about 8 people were saved.)

When it states earth, I think of it meaning, perhaps, the giant land mass only.

According to the Bible, the continents were not divided until the days of Peleg which was after the flood.

So you believe that the continents were one giant land mass up to and including 2,300 bc...really?
