<P> The Genesis flood narrative is a flood myth found in the Tanakh (chapters 6--9 in the Book of Genesis). The story tells of God's decision to return the Earth to its pre-creation state of watery chaos and then remake it in a reversal of creation . The narrative has very strong simularities to parts of the Epic of Gilgamesh which long predates the Book of Genesis . </P> <P> Scientists have unsuccessfully attempted to reconcile the flood narrative with physical findings in geology and palaeontology . Flood geology is considered to be pseudoscientific . </P>

Where is the flood mentioned in the bible
