Now days the atheist groups attacking Christians with an argument…

Now days the atheist groups attacking Christians with an argument that “the story of Noah and flood a mythical story that stolen from the book called The Epic of Gilgamesh and added to the Bible” so today I want introduce a little bit about “The epic of Gilgamesh”
‘The Epic of Gilgamesh’ is one
of the oldest recorded stories in the
world. It’s about an ancient king of
Babylonia, Gilgamesh, who lived
around 2700 Be. According to the
story, Gilgamesh was part god and
part human, and had many special
powers. This epic is nota single story
written by one author. It has many
stories and myths woven together.
These stories were first narrated
orally by different people. Later,
they were combined with tales from
other languages and written down
on clay tablets in what is now cal led
the cuneiform script. The written
texts were created over a thousand
year period,and remained unknown
to the modern world until 1 872,
when stone tablets written in the
Babylonian language were discov-
ered, creating a great deal of ex-
citement.

Have you read it. The only similarity is boat, water and a boatmen. The problem was one god was angery at another god for making such a noisy crew. For his reward the boatman, not named Noah, was given immortality.

The biblical global flood is said to have occurred in 2348BC. The Epic of Gilgamesh was written circa 1800BC (according to Wikipedia)…so the poem is only accurate about the flood. But I’m pretty safe to say that the Epic of Gilgamesh was not very “epic” at the time it was written….. considering that for the most part only scribes knew how to read and write……in addition to the extreme lack of ways to get copies of any written documents to the masses (even if common men and women could read during those times…which again most could not)….I find it VERY hard to believe that Moses even heard of the Epic of Gilgamesh before he wrote Genesis (which includes the global flood). If anything, the author of The Epic of Gilgamesh heard the oral stories passed down through the generations from Noah’s family and then formulated his poem.

In some research I have found the flood account was not in the Epic originally, but added later.

In my opinion:
*Moses did not mention Gilgamesh on scripture.
*Moses got the message directly from God at Sinai Mountain. God did not mention Gilgamesh again.

*Gilgamesh only mentioned by Babylonian education
*Flood at mesopotamia not happening at once but at multiple time.
