The flood couldn't have been local. After the Flood, God promised he would never do that again. However, local floods have happened many many times. So that would make God a liar, and since God can supposedly never lie, the local flood theory fails.

According to your Bible, God told Adam & Eve that they would die that day if they ate the fruit. They ate it, they didn't die. In Jer. 25, God claims Babylon will be a perpetual desolation. It is not. Also, read Thess II 2. God is already a liar.
The reason a world-wide flood has not happened is because it is impossible.
"God" said a lot of shit. So did Jesus. He's comin' right back, remember?
And you are wrong, the entire world couldn't have flooded as the bible states. So that would make you the follower of a book of lies.
Of course, that there is evidence that the Flood was not universal, doesn´t count either to you. And stop that "God liar" argument. If every single word in the Bible is the word of God, he wouldn´t have passed the test. If nobody isolates me for having my period, God is taken as a liar, if nobody stones Bakker, God is taken as a liar, if you eat shrimp and lobster, God is a liar. Because the Bible is, according to its essence, INSPIRED BY GOD, not written. And the guys who wrote it are, after all, nomads in the bronze age.
It tells in your own fucking Bible that God lies, Umoron. According to your Wholly Babble, God decieved people many times, also that he "hardened their hearts," such as the pharoah when the Israelites were supposedly enslaved there. Damn man, read the thing. You might learn that things aren't what you thought they were.
Yeah, I, too, would say that god appears to be a liar - except that there isn't any such thing and I don't think a myth actually qualifies as a lie.
"God claims Babylon will be a perpetual desolation. It is not."
Well, the US army built a base over its ruins, so I guess the Bible was half right... =P
And anyway, the Flood story, just like the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel where originally Babylonian myths, which the Jews adopted when they where enslaved by them. please try and learn the history of your own Holy Book before making claims about it.
Confused?
