"Noah either went to school with the Yellow Emperor"
Didn't the supposerd 'Global Flood' occur before the reign of Emperor Huangdi? It certainly happened during the era of ancient China's existence; yet, for some unfathomable reason, there was absolutely no mention of a supposedly cataclysmic civilisation-annihilating 'Flood' in it's records. And the ancient Chinese were sticklers for record-keeping (natch), which is why we know so much about them.
Like I say, the ancient Chinese existed before said 'Flood'; even before literal YEC Biblical history itself. It existed during said 'Flood'. It existed after it too. Why? (check one):
[ ] At that time, the Chinese mainland was higher than Mount Everest, thus it survived said 'Flood'. Thus contradicting the Bible, therefore annihilating it & your 'beliefs'.
[ ] There was no 'Global Flood'; those who codified the Bible as we know it today ripped off other earlier myhologies' 'Flood' legends. Thus contradicting the Bible, therefore annihilating it & your 'beliefs'.
Choose wisely.
"Or, Noah was the Yellow Emperor prior to the flood/Babel, as well as Yu after the flood/Babel; something I think is a very likely at this point."
(*Switches to Doug Piranha mode*)
And the Bible was "The Water Margin"*, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"**, "Journey to the West" & "Dream of the Red Chamber", amirite?!
*- Ye gods, but I loved watching that on BBC 2 in the 70s/80s!
**- The original can be a bit too dry, which is why I prefer the anime 'adaptations': "Ikkitousen" and "Koihime Musou"
