How long ago was the Bible Flood?

Answer 1

According to the Book of Genesis, the Flood occurred approximately 1656 years after creation, or approximately 2348 BCE. However, scientists say that there never was a great flood event as described in The Bible. The only known flood event that could have originated this and other similar legends was the sudden inundation of what is now the Black Sea, in 5200 BCE.

Answer 2

The is no one answer for this time period as many differing years have been calculated by various sources. Suffice it to say that there are many who would say the worldwide flood occurred in 1657-56 AM (anno mundus or year of the world) via the genealogies from Adam as day one onward to Noah at 600 years old when it began.

Using this date in conjunction with Archbishop Ussher's biblical chronology study from the genealogies in Genesis beginning from Adam dating his creation to 4004 BC, then the Flood occurred circa 2348-47 BC (Ussher found it to be 2349 BC).

Therefore, 2013 AD to 2348 BC would be approximately 4,361 years ago. Noting our current calendar skipped year '0' when Denis the Little adjusted it under Pope Gregory's instruction then the final answer is 4,362 years ago.
