There are many religious records of a global flood, furthermore these writers did not have a complete knowledge of the earth so they could not have known the flood status across the entire planet unless they had technology! Not to mention science clearly agrees the Grand Canyon was a glacier event therefor water!
I'm pretty convinced that Jesus among other deities was nothing more than a man influenced by extraterrestrials or was one himself and there is piles of evidence that suggests every known god is either made up or attributed to some unknown lifeform
In Hindu mythology, texts such as the Satapatha Brahmana (dated to around the 6th century BC)[13] and the Puranas contain the story of a great flood, "Pralaya",[14] wherein the Matsya Avatar of the Vishnu warns the first man, Manu, of the impending flood, and also advises him to build a giant boat.[15][16][17] In Zoroastrian Mazdaism, Ahriman tries to destroy the world with a drought, which Mithra ends by shooting an arrow into a rock, from which a flood springs; one man survives in an ark with his cattle.[18]
In Plato's Timaeus, written c. 360 BC, Timaeus describes a flood myth similar to the earlier versions. In it, the Bronze race of humans angers the high god Zeus with their constant warring. Zeus decides to punish humanity with a flood. The Titan Prometheus, who had created humans from clay, tells the secret plan to Deucalion, advising him to build an ark in order to be saved. After nine nights and days, the water starts receding and the ark lands on a mountain.[19
Let's go down that pathway then, if one man survives in an ark with their cattle then how did the world repopulate? What about all the animals? They would have died and all become extinct.
Same with Deucalion, the question arises about how the animals survived and repopulated as well as the human race. Can these questions be answered?

Actually there’s this Russian woman who has some pretty compelling evidence that the dates and numbers we subscribe to today were altered on a mass scale about a thousand years ago. Real weird stuff. Can’t remember her name but I’ll find it.
Grand Canyon was definitely not formed from a flood. Though there is of course no disputing there was a flood. Every culture on earth remembers a flood of giant proportions.
My question is what makes your book right and all the beliefs of all the other cultures wrong? Isn’t it more likely that religions of all shapes and sizes are mans way of dealing with his fear of death, and at the same time exerting mass control over people?
I mean come on. What makes your book right and all the other ancient books wrong?
Go find it.

The difference between the Bible and all the other beliefs is this: the other beliefs are based on works, what *I* can do to save myself. The Bible says that it is God who saves. There is nothing that I can do to attribute to salvation.
The problem with works is that there is no tangible way to know if you've done enough or not. Can you also be saved and then later be unsaved? What if you die prematurely at 13 years old? Hardly enough time to do the works.
The Bible gets to the heart of the problem where the others do not.
