On the face of it, the biblical flood should not be taught in any science course, since it is a religious story, not something that really happened. Perhaps it is intended to compare the supposed forces of the Flood with the forces that really shaped our world, and the known duration of those forces.

Did demons walk the earth before the flood?

A:There is nothing in the Book of Genesis to suggest that demons walked the earth before Noah's Flood, so scripturally the answer would seem to be that they did not. At a practical level, demons do not exist, and science tells us there never was a great flood that covered the whole world. On two counts, that rules out demons walking the earth before the flood.


Which was first the ice age or the great flood?

Science has dated the end of the last Ice Age to about 10,000 years ago. Conservative Biblical scholars, of the kind who hold that the Biblical Flood was a real, divinely created event, have dated the Creation to more recently than 10,000 years ago, and thus the Flood even more recently than that. Therefore, the dates of the Biblical flood and the last Ice Age cannot be compared because they derive from completely unconnected chronologies.


Are events like Noah's flood really historical or just Biblical fairy tales?

No matter what religion you belong to it is scientific fact that the earth suffered a flood millions of years ago. History has proven the Ark and it's ihabitants to be real. you have to do your own research to find out if the biblical accounts are true. I believe they are all true because I have found proof of certain historical accounts from the Bible. If science says yes it's true then even an atheist can't dispute that.
