But when you look at the actual flood stories, very, very, very, very, very few of them have anything in common other than water. The source of water, the amount of damage, loss of life and reason for the flood differ extremely. Hard to say that Genesis flood myth is true in a literal sense when virtually no other culture shares the same story. True, floods occur all the time in history. That doesn't mean they were the same one.
Well, when you look at languages (especially ancient ones), very, very, very few of them have anything in common other than the fact that they're utterances from the throat. Pronunciation, grammar, spelling, alphabets differ extremely. My point? Different peoples have different takes on things, especially when large distances in geography and a time-line separate them. Not to mention, things get lost or changed in Oral tradition, we know this from the game Telephone, and things get lost in translation in almost every language to the next. Not to say this proves it was real, just that we all have very similar information, we just interpret it differently, especially regarding early history.
