Scott Douglas Jacobsen: A global flood is the catastrophic mythical event recounted in the book of Genesis.
Rick Rosner: Yes, I don’t buy the geologic events of the Bible. People argue that they look at things written down in the Bible and other very old documents and try to correlate them with astronomical, geological, and climate events.
They can do that, and if they find it, I’ll buy the argument if it’s good. There was probably a famous meteor that glowed green and streaked across China in the year 433, and it was depicted or written about in this way. I’ll buy arguments like that. But not that, the flood, Noah, and two by two onto the ark. No, I don’t buy that.
