Here\'s my 2 cents. I think that there was definately some mass destruction caused by God, it could have been a flood, maybe not. So many other religions have a similar story. For example, in Egyptian mythology, Ra got sick of man and decided to destroy man. Ra had Horobus blanket the earth in fire, but all the people in the shadows, unseen by the sun, we unharmed. So Ra went and sent his eye, in the form of Sextet(sp?) to burn the people in hiding with flaming sword. Before Sextet killed eveyone Ra was thinking he should keep some people alive, so he tricked Sextet into stopping by creating a pool of wine mixed with blood. When Sextet saw it she couldn\'t help but drink it all, and all those who remained were saved.
There was something similar in Greek mythology.Apollo\'s son took his father\'s firy chariot and flew lower than he had too so everything that was exposed to it got burnt.Zeus wrath resulted to a thunder that killed him.Atleast thats how I remember it. Troglodyte sure might know better.
Its one of the supposed 3 earth destructions.One is the flood,the other is the fire and the last I cant remember.
