jacki: Yes, u can read it... This is not in the time of Noah, there are Trillions of ppl on earth and God's way of getting rid of overcrowded ppls is tsunamis, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanos, rains, floods, wars ect.. Just like it happened in the Bible.
Regarding Noah, thosd were not my words, Mathew 24:37-39 "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the son of man will be.For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, untill the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note untill the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the son of man will be"
