According to the Book of Genesis, the biblical Flood was approximately 1,656 years after the creation. This means that the Flood would have taken place about 2340 BCE.

On the other hand, it is hard to avoid the clear fact that other civilisations continued undisturbed right through the time attributed to the Flood and beyond. Furthermore, there is a total lack of scientific evidence for any flood as described in the Bible. Nor is there any rational explanation for where the water came from, or where it went after the Flood. The simple fact is, God did not flood the whole earth..

According to the Book of Genesis, the great Flood of Noah occured about 1656 years after creation, or about 4,300 years ago.

However, scientists say there never was a worldwide flood as described in The Bible. Moreover, they say, there is not enough water in the world for this flood to actually happen.

Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) believes that the biblical Flood story, and several others like it, is actually a folk memory of an event in 5600 BCE, when the Mediterranean Sea broke through the Bosporus and flooded the low-lying, fertile plain that became the Black Sea. This inundation would have seemed to be a great flood that would surely engulf the whole world. Stories of miraculous escapes became the myths and legends of the future. On this view, the great Flood occurred 7,600 years ago, but only in the region of what is now the Black Sea, and was not of divine origin.
