What year was the flood of Noah?
It depends on your frame of reference in regard to dating mechanisms. If you believe evolutionary dating mechanisms (old earth of 5 billion years old), which makes many unstated assumptions as fact both before and after the flood, then you would state that the flood was probably 20,000 to 50,000 years ago. This is why old earther’s scoff at the search for the ark, as it is extremely unlikely any of the boat would have survived for tens of millennia. However, if the ark is actually scientifically documented to have survived, this would present a dilemma for old earther’s, who typically rely on many generations being left out of the biblical genealogies. If you question evolutionary dating mechanisms (young earth of 6,000-10,000 years old), then you would consider that the flood was probably between about 5000 BC to 2350 BC, depending on if any generations were not included in the biblical genealogies.
