There was not a worldwide flood as is commonly taught every child who attends sunday school.
Now, there was indeed a flood, but it did not cover the entire earth. The Hebrew word for earth used here is 'erets.
It 's definition is just that country or land or nation. The floodwaters reached a depth of 15 cubits. There is a profane cubit and a divine cubit and both are units of measurement.
A profane cubit is the length of a man's arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. The divine cubit is 25 inches.
15 cubits multiplied by 25 inches is 31 feet, 3 inches. That depth could be obtained by containing it in a massive basin and the breaking open of a part of the basin would have drained the water out when the time came.
If Noah and his immediate family were the only people left alive on the entire planet, one would have a difficult time explaining where all the other races of people came from since the only people on the ark were of the adamic race. All the other creatures were domestic, clean and unclean and whatever else Noah could have rounded up from the local area. The idea of Noah thrashing about in the jungles of South America or tracking down Polar bears in the frozen arctic is absurd.
The reason for the flood:
The fallen angels saw that the daughters of Adam were fair and took them for wives and they produced the Nephalim, the Giants. All of the adamic race had been corrupted (their seedline destroyed as a result of mixing), and for that, destruction was necessary. Noah was chosen, not because he was a swell guy and was good at sports but because he and his immediate family had kept the seedline pure. The Bible states that only Noah had been chosen for he was "perfect in his generations". The Hebrew word used here is: Tamim, and means without blemish and is the technical word for bodily and physical perfection and not moral. It is also used of animals of sacrificial purity. The word is rendered as without blemish, without spot and undefiled ,throughout the Bible.
The flood did not kill all the Nephalim. More likely than not, they had already wandered outside of the land that was flooded, thus escaping destruction.
We know this for a fact when we read that Abraham, when moving out of Haran into Canaan, that the Canaanite was then (already) in the land.
Much later, we read that the spies that Moses sent out to scout the territory ,came back with reports of the Giants, which made them seem as grasshoppers in comparison.
The Giants had already established themselves at Asteroth Karnaim and Shaveh Kiriathaim and were known as Rephaim and Emim.
In Canaan, they were known as the Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Amorites, Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Two other clans were the Anakim, after Anak and Rapha. A description of Og, the King of Bashan is described in Deuteronomy chapter 3, verse 11.
The encounter with the spies that Moses sent forth is in Numbers chapter 13 verse 33.
Since the flood was not worldwide, other races in other parts of the world were untouched and since no exploration was underway at that time, I dare say they never heard of a flood, and would not know that another part of the world even existed.
We do not know just how many giants escaped to yet other countries........I always wondered about Andre the giant, who in a People magazine interview said that, his family was from Russia and that they were all very large people. As big as he was, he would have been considered a dwarf compared to the original giants. Andre was about 7'4"and weighed around 500 pounds. Og, King of Bashan was much larger and we do not know just how large the largest of the giants may have been.
There was a book, a documentary, published in 1875 titled "Giant Cities of Bashan", the author's name is Porter. Porter formed an expedition to Bashan, to seek out the remnants of these cities where the Giants once resided. It is very difficult to find , at least in public libraries. Twenty years ago the State of Minnesota had but one copy and now it is no longer available.
There were also subsequent books written about the remants of Giants in China. Expeditions in 1914, 1917 and 1927, unearthed sketetal remains of very large human bones and teeth. Teeth that the local Chinese called "Dragon Teeth", and when pulverized and consumed they believed that it gave a person "Dragon Power". The local Chinese did not want to share these bones with scientists and it is not known just how many of these remnants ever made it back to the U.S.
In Matthew chapter 24 when Christ is asked how the end will be He states that it will be as in the days of Noah. The fallen angels (the locust army) will accompany Satan (antichrist) to earth. There will be no flood, but for the flood of lies spewing forth from Satan's mouth, but we are told that once again the fallen angels will be giving and taking in marriage with the daughters of Adam.
Though there may be intercourse , there will be no Nephalim, for there will not be enough time for them to be born.
