i remember i watched this program on Discovery explaining the flood in Noah's Ark which they said happened in the Black Sea. they also explained how the 10 plagues happened in the Book of Genesis. And also scientist explained that serpents are descendants of a salamander-like reptile. the series was shown around April or May. sana ipalabas uli nila.
and one more thing. the Bible described Eden as located between the river Tigris and Euphrates which is located at Iraq. so there you go.
That's not good enough. I've never seen an accurate Discovery Channel program on biblical topics.
The theorized flood at the Black Sea is called "The Black Sea Deluge Theory", a hypothesized catastrophic rise in the level of the Black Sea circa 5600 BC due to waters from the Mediterranean Sea breaching a sill in the Bosporus Strait. The magnitude could not have been so great as to submerge the whole world.
Serpents are descendants of a salamander-like reptile? That still doesn't explain what the serpent at the Garden of Eden was, because it was something else.
On Genesis 3:14, God cursed the serpent:
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Remember, it was a talking serpent, cunning enough to deceive Eve. It was not cursed with muteness, so why can't serpents talk today?
It was cursed to walk on its belly and eat dust all the days of its life. Serpents today walk on their bellies, but they don't eat dust all the days of their lives.
Present-day Tigris is not just in Iraq, it flows through Turkey. Present-day Euphrates is not just in Iraq, it flows through Syria and Turkey up to the Shatt al-Arab.
Even then, 2 Peter 3:6 says the world was "deluged and destroyed" by the great flood of Noah's time.
Therefore, there's no way to know how the world's geography looked like before the great flood. And it's impossible to know whether today's rivers Tigris and Euphrates are the same Tigris and Euphrates prior to the great flood, or if they are new rivers in new locations arbitrarily named as such by the people who came after the great flood.
