I believe that there very well could have been a REGIONAL flood.

I agree with Sasha that there is evidence of a flood in many cultures. Well, didn't you ever have to read the Epic of Gilgamesh in college.

That was an account of the flood, separate from Noah.

In those days (when the bible was being written ) they did not know about the geography that we do. To them, the World could have ended 100 miles down the road. Like he said, they had no idea of our side of the world.

And while there IS evidence that something happened, it doesn't mean that two of EVERY animial in the WHOLE world was put into that vessel. Maybe it meant that two of every animal in that region. Who knows.
