The Genesis Flood don’t make sense, whether it be global flood or regional flood.

Covering all the highest mountains would indicate global flood. The amount of water required is enormous and impossible, as Cacotopia’s quote indicated.

Plus, if it was global, then should be evidences of such flood, all over the world, but there are no evidences of it, from archaeological and geological standpoints.

Plus the human tolls would have taken hundreds of years to recover.

For instance, if the flood occurred in 2340 BCE, then there shouldn’t be pyramid building in Egypt for centuries, and yet Egyptians were still building pyramids for their kings throughout the 6th dynasty (eg Teti, Pepi I, Merenre I and Pepi II at Saqqara).

These (6th dynasty) pyramids may be a lot smaller than the famous 4th dynasty pyramids at Giza, it would still require large manpower to carry out such construction.

There should be shortage of workers if Egypt had suffered from the Flood.

Regional flood even make less sense. Like why try to save so many animals if it is only a regional flood? Why build the ark of that size?

And if Noah was a prophet and the flood was only regional flooding, wouldn’t it make more sense to move to another location not affected by the flood, instead of building a large vessel? He had a 100 years warning, which mean he and his family could have travel on foot to any location on the Eurasian continents.

Alexander the Great had army of 40,000 men at the start, and those that remain in his services, reach the Indian subcontinent in matter of 10 years. Imagine how far Noah could have travelled in 100 years with only 8 adults?
