It all hinges on the translation. Although I don't have my concordance with me right off, I do remember that the specific Hebrew used to the describe the area that was flooded was rendered differently in other areas where it meant something much more reasonable. Take for instance Cain who was "driven from the face of the earth" though we know from Scripture that he settled eventually to the east. When you get right down to it, all of the original stories bare some resemblence to the Biblical stories. It is not as modern scholars suggest - that these stories led to the Biblical account - but that the converse happened and the Biblical account led to these stories which are a corruption of the truth.
