Comment on PUC Professor: The Noachian Flood was just a local flood? by Ben Gonzalez.

Does anyone remember when Galileo was put to death because he contended that the earth revolved around the sun? The Biblical authors of the Genesis story thought that the world was flat, if one takes everything literally then you are reading anachronistically. Why does it have to shake someones faith if science helps reveal more truth about the world that Christians believe is God’s creation. Should not Christians be excited when new possibilities emerge that may lead to a greater knowledge of truth and Gods universe?
