Replying to a message of Roger Nelson to Jeff Snyder:

 S>>> RN>  Noah built a boat in the mountain?  Interesting.


 JS>> To my knowledge, the Bible does not specifically say where Noah built

 RN> The best guess anyone has is that Noah lived on the plains between the

 RN> I'm inclined to believe it is according to the best guess stated
 RN> above.

Archaeologists have found evidence of a massive flood in that area.  Dunno if
