Localized floods can reshape narratives
The concept of the flood in Genesis may not refer to a global event but rather to localized catastrophic floods, which could explain the survival of Nephilim and other beings post-flood. The use of Hebrew language supports this interpretation, as phrases describing coverage of land can be hyperbolic, emphasizing that the term 'whole earth' may not mean all-encompassing. This suggests a need for careful analysis of biblical text and understanding the potential for exaggeration in language when interpreting such events.
