You will no doubt recognize the quote below.
"The evidence presented in Insight on the Scriptures and in Aid to Bible Understanding is in three categories:
the scriptures, legends, and physical evidence. The scriptural evidence is not an issue since the Bible clearly says there was a Flood. Hence, I will discuss the physical evidence in detail, as well as each of the above listed points, and bring in other references to the Flood in the Society’s publications as needed. Legends are difficult to objectively assess, and therefore I will have less to say about them. Note that Genesis says nothing that can be proved or disproved by reference to physical phenomena. A miracle could have occurred and there would be no way to detect it. The problem in that case is how such a global cataclysm could leave no physical traces."
Thanks for the articles on your site and for the recommendation of Davis Young's books. I have a much better understanding of where you are coming from.
