There's even a flood in Hinduism. My History class taught me that "at the time of the flood itself, Vinshu (or whatever the heck his name is) apeared as a fish to drag the last remaining boat of the world to the top of the mountain and save the Earth. Sound familar? I still believe that Noah's story is the truth.

Or perhaps all those stories are variations on an even earlier one.

Yep. There's even a flood in Islam. And like SMfan said, in each religion, it slightly changes.  I belive that there was a flood. I truly do. But then we belive that he couldn't take the of the other people who didn't belive. How many religions belive that he took two of each animal?

Interesting.  I would like to know more about those stories.  Do you think that there's any physical evidence of a giant flood have happening in one place in the world?

Unlike most people, I like to think that Noah brought dinosaurs on the ark with him.  If they were infants when they got on then they could still fit.  Genesis did say they had two of every creature.  That's just my thought.

Genesis also said that Adam lived to be 700 some years old.

Yeah in the old testament people lived longer. Like Abraham and Noah...they lived to be at least 800.

Strange, considering that in colonial times your life expectancy would be, what, 30?

I would hate to live that long.  There were a lot of strange things mentioned in the old Testament before the Flood (like the Nephilim in Genesis 6).  Maybe the Flood changed a lot of things in the world after it took place, like age spans somehow.  And maybe God had to keep him alive long enough to repopulate the world!

"Oh man!  What if we're the last of our kind?  We'll have to repopulate the entire world!"
"How?  Everyone we know is either a dude or our sister!"

EXCEPT DINOSAURS WERE LONG DEAD WAY BEFORE HUMANS EXISTED.

Yep. There's even a flood in Islam.
This is not surprising considering Islam was founded later than a lot of religions.
That was a joke.

So here are the stories of Noah in three of the major religions. I got them from wikipedia. They are on the same page but linked so that they go exactly to the one you want to see.

Judaism
Christianity
Islam

Pt_peach: Thanks a lot!  That's interesting.

CW: I've heard about that but I don't know if I believe it.  It definitely could be true but I'm just not sure.  Scientists can have great ideas and discoveries from research, but what if some of them don't share the information that goes against what they want people to believe? (I know-- by now I sound like a paranoid disbeliever XD)  And how is it possible that the coelecanth fish is alive today when it was supposed to have gone extinct 70 million years ago?  That doesn't really apply to the coexisting thing, but sometimes mistakes in science can happen.  Sorry for disagreeing again.

Actaully, I would say that marketing has influence over Christianity, but that's just me.
Maybe there is more to me than there is to me...

I just got back from Worldview.  It was an amazing experience, and I now know how to counter all of the so called "wizards" who try and deceive people.  I am just overwhelmed by how much I learned there.
I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.
