The Noachian Flood: Universal or Local?

From a biblical perspective, a universalflood model (and its corollary models: flood geology and the canopy theory) is basedprimarily on: (1) the Universal language of Gen. 6 8, (2) Gen 2:5 6, and (3) thepresumed landing of Noah s ark on the summit of Mount Ararat (Gen. 8:4). It is arguedthat the Universal language of Gen. 6 8 was meant to cover the whole known worldof that time (third millennium BC), not the entire planet Earth, and that thisinterpretation also applies to Gen. 2:5 6 the verses on which the canopy theory isbased. It is also argued that the fifteen cubits upward flood depth mentioned inGen. 7:20 favors a local rather than a Universal a scientific perspective, a Universal flood, flood geology, and canopy theory areentirely without support.
paper, Noah also is placed in Mesopotamia around 2900 BC. In the following discussion, two assump-tions are made using the firealistic approachfl to Bible interpretation: 1.
