I’ve had people try to tell me that Noah’s ark was real because “every religion has a Great Flood” myth.
I’m sure every civilization has had a historic worst flood by definition.
which other religion are you referring too? seems like a number of them.
for what it is worth
Duh. Read the question again. I want to know about any such religions.
Well, I read the question, and the posted link is directly responsive to the question. Have you read it?
And be nice.
other means different from one you stated. you didn’t state any religion you were othering from. just a nit.
This is what happens when people answer based on the title instead of the OP.
I sometimes wonder whether the rule requiring titles is a good one.
Yes, I recall before we had that rule and people would title threads with a single question mark.
But this feeling that the title is question strikes me like saying the cover is the book.
The Hindu story of Manu includes animals saved on the boat, as well as seeds.
It depends if you classify ‘mythology’ as ‘religion’. Many ancient cultures had a deluge myth (and I think they’re all listed in that wikipedia article). The Bablyonian one in particular is very close to the Biblical one.
Of the religions that are around today, all the major ones do, but they’re all related to one another anyway.
Gilgamesh from the Sumerian myths has the oldest account of the Deluge.
The stories of Gilgamesh are interesting to read.
I tried to find the British Museum hosted text of the Syrian Tablets. I read them years ago, but a year or two later the museum stopped hosting the translations. They still are not there as far as I can tell. I’ve pointed you in the dirrection to look and you will find the texts interesting to read.
Thanks
Mythology is an aspect of religion: specifically, sacred narratives. Many of the so-called “deluge myths” listed are only tangentially related. The statement
“Noah’s ark was real because ‘every religion has a Great Flood’ myth.”
is untrue because
Mythology tells you a lot about people, but it doesn’t usually tell you much about history, and next to nothing about science. It’s not supposed to. It’s not the primitive equivalent of science, it’s a narrative phenomenon that is a part of the human cultural experience.
I think it’s more believable that Noah’s ark wasn’t real because many religions have “Great Flood” myths. It’s like hearing the same urban legend (with slightly different variations) in different towns.
The flood myths were likely based on the fact that there were floods,but the Biblical flood could not have happened as written. The entire earth could not have been totally covered with 29,000 feet of water and if Noah’s ark landed on Ararat (it is 15,000 feet high); there are many reason’s to know it could not have happened as told or written.
By “other religions”, do you mean religions other than Christianity? If so, Judaism and Islam both feature pretty much the same story as Noah’s Ark, with the flood covering the whole world. Hinduism has a great flood story as well, in which the flood also covered the whole world.
In my religion, we honor each rainfall with the statement, “Boy, we sure needed this rain”. However, we have no Great Flood Myth.
Lutheran? 
No, I’m Navin R. Johnson.
Oh, that line just sounded like something a Norweigan bachelor farmer would say. 
I have a better idea for god: Just tell somebody who’s already near Mt. Ararat to start a zoo there and wait for the seas to rise and recede. Somebody should write that down on stone tablets and send it up for the next time.
