Yeah who wouldn’t cringe at locating the flood where there is actual evidence of a flood with human remains no less in an area and time frame for the earliest signs of human civilization. Much better to go with a worldwide flood with no evidence whatsoever and invoke divine magic so people will believe in God more.
We are talking about an area with frequent floods. Just because some floods were evidently small doesn’t mean they all were. You have to do better than that to justify such contempt you displaying.
The evidence I see is that the gradient is quite small.
No way is it certain that Noah landed in Turkey. Biblical scholars disagree that the mountain in Genesis is the same as the one in Turkey.
Do want to put your view out to face the cringe of others?
