Quotes about Flood Myth

Garth Brooks

Noah took much ridicule building his great arc, but after 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart.

John Shimkus

God said that the Earth would not be destroyed by a flood.

The congressman was a Biblical literalist. In this case he extended this method of knowing what is or is not potentially dangerous, to the absence of what the Bible says rather than a Biblical statement, If the Bible did not mention such a major event as global warming, it would not come to pass. Scientists are particularly distressed with this kind of analysis observing that there is nothing in the Bible abount nuclear energy, quantum mechanics, or black holes.

Ben Shapiro

It is possible to take the story of Noah figuratively, although virtually every Near East ancient civilization has its own version of the flood story (including the amoral epic of Gilgamesh).

Herman Melville

Yea, foolish mortals, Noah's flood is not yet subsided; two thirds of the fair world it yet covers.

Ovid

We two [Deucalion and Pyrrha, after the deluge] form a multitude.
[Lat., Nos duo turba sumus.]

Russell Crowe

I never looked at Noah as an animal collector. I always thought of him as an apocalyptic character. I read everything I found about it and was surprised to find that in all religions there is the story of the flood, and that one "hero" saved the world.

Simon Toyne

'Sanctus' deals with creation myths in every culture. It fascinates me that all cultures, evolving independently, have similar models of mankind's origins, of a Greater Being, of the flood, and so on. It's amazing how they crop up time and time again.
