The Global Flood and Mormon Scripture | Ep. 1623 | LDS Discussions Ep. 12

The video provides an overview of the issues surrounding the global flood story in the Bible and its relationship to the Book of Mormon. It discusses the problems with the story as literal history and its similarities to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The video also explores the perspective of science on the matter, and the difficulty in explaining how civilizations pre-dated and survived the flood. The video further covers the teachings of the Mormon church regarding the global flood and its implications for the Adam and Eve and Missouri narratives. It also touches on the responses of Mormon apologetics to the problem of the global flood, and the conclusion of FAIRMormon on what can be accepted about the flood.
