Hundreds of years before ,Genesis was written a popular myth was very popular it was about how the Gods of the skies decided to wipe out man for its sins , but one of the gods stood and said a righteous man was on Earth and him and his family should be spared in a boat of specific preposition to avoid the safety of humans and animal lives , and after sometime the flood came , a raven or peigon was sent to confirm if the land was dry enough and after this great flood man made sacrifice to appease the Gods who in return promised never to wipe the world with water ,
Yes its very well the story of Genesis
The thing is there was never a global flood (debates open), as floods are secluded to region and bits and parts , so does that mean it never happened ? Well No it could have happened long long time ago probably a villiager somewhere during a great flood saved his family and some animals and was hailed a hero and mythologized ....

There are plenty of mythological stories in the Bible and same got replicated in the Quran.
There could had been some floods that was widespread in that region, and who can blame them for thinking that the whole of the world was what they could see! People around the world once thought that the whole is just what they could see.

All those creation stories are just bullshits! Can you imagine that no single black man entered Noah's ark cheesy
How did animals, native only to places such as Australia, Antarctica, South America, Madagascar, etc, how did they get to the ark?
How was the sanitation and feeding taken care of, for seven pairs and two pairs of "all" animals.
Who looked after the animals, only eight people?

i watched a video on YouTube, they said the reason the US went to war with Iraq in 2003 was because they found the tomb of Gilgamesh, I even saw the alleged body and tomb, the body was huge and he had beard all over. He died a long time ago but his body is fresh, he looks like someone that is sleeping. I don't know if its true though, have you come across the video before?

Actually sir, the Qur'anic version is quite different from the Biblical version and the above version. While the later states that the world was destroyed by the flood, the Qur'an on the other hand explicitly states that "it is the people of Nuh, that was destroyed by the flood". Although, it's understandable for such errors because people at that time might have felt it was the whole world based on how they may have perceived the world, remember no planes etc

Nope , all waters of the Worlds are connected , The ice age was able to form because it was solid , but hydrogen just filling up the Earth ? Where would the moon be how would oxygen exist for the saved family....? Its just not logical , it shouldn't be its a mythological book so yeah .

I don’t know, but does not mean I should take any answer without examining it.

The Elohim and Yahweh story was stolen from the Sumerian text.
