Ok, we read this story called Gilgamesh if you haven't read it, google it. But basically its about this guy who wants to be immortal, and his dad tells him that one of the gods told him that a giant flood was coming to wipe out humanity.
(sound familiar?)
well... guess what he did? yep, he made a boat, filled it with his family and animals. then, when they grounded, he set out a bird to find land. blah blah blah, he repopulates the earth.

ok... now tell me that doesnt sound familiar.

I think the bible is full of crap. Whoever wrote it (probably a group of ppl) just got ideas from old stories. and dont say that the bible was written before Gilgamesh because Gilgamesh was written in early the BC's (like 2000bc)

anyone care to argue

i dont want to hear all you all calling athesiest and crap... cuz im not .

i believe in... a higher power, but i just think the bible is a bunch of nonsense

Also, regarding the whole Great Flood thing... I studied that for awhile, and there is a lot of evidence to support a great flood on the earth. It has to do with fossils, layers of the earth, etc. etc.

Presenting that evidence along with the claim might be useful.
Aside from that, the idea of a historical reading of the great flood in genesis has died out of mainstream science and geology during the mid 19th century. Many geological discoveries proposed serious problems to the theory. Also, a great flood seemed to call for the suspension of several basic physical laws, which natural science doesn't exactly allow.

Without a reasonable water source for such a flood, and a way to get rid of such vast amounts of water the theory easily becomes laughable.

Archaeological evidence does not fit with flood geology in that man-made artifacts that are rather dense are found significantly high up in the sedimentary layers. Flood geologists explain away fossil placement, and sedimentary layers by claiming that the rushing water somehow sorted these rocks, and fossils either deeper or near to the surface pertaining to the density of the objects caught in the flood. If this were to, the more dense the object, the deeper we would find it. However, this isn't always true and is easily disputed with everyday archaeological findings. It may also be important to point to the construction involved in forming the pyramids of Egypt. If a flood actually occured during common times noted by flood geologists, we would most likely not have the pyramids today.

The fossil record is also alarmingly scarce if it truly was created by a global flood.

The Bible is super silly.

If the Bible was accurate in presenting the Great Flood on earth, then saying we wouldn't have pyramids today is silly. If you keep reading past Genesis into Exodus, (which is the time of Moses in Egypt) that is when the Israelites were slaves to Pharaoh. What were they doing? Building pyramids. That argument can't even be used here.
