You are making an assertion that the "biblical flood" is different from the "great floods" of china

I linked the person who is said to have navigated that flood in china. The year just started and instead of reading the post and learning something new...you just make more assertions and demands without regard to what you are demanding do you really have free will? or do walls of texts seem like a great flood to you?

ONLY 8 humans survived the flood according to the bible.

as you haven't asserted anything let me do it for you: (phantom assertion chasing) - chinese society was wiped out and everyone died when the global flood happened.

as part of this baby sitting i now have to ask you: (phantom assertion closing the loop) - do you think that chinese society was wiped out (everyone died) by the global flood where only noah + family survived?

(you see why i hate having to do this?)

you hate actually thinking and prefer to be spoon fed, you think it makes you seem intelligent but your impatience bleeds through the screen

that said, your understanding of the global flood is completely negligent on the spiritual/metaphysical nature that it COULD have been

now ill be patient with you and highlight some text from that post to get the hamster wheels turning... from the honorable Yao (peace be upon him)

Like endless boiling water, the flood is pouring forth destruction. Boundless and overwhelming, it overtops hills and mountains. Rising and ever rising, it threatens the very heavens. How the people must be groaning and suffering!
— Emperor Yao, as quoted in the Book of History, describing the flood[8]

this is no ordinary flood, and is spoken of using spiritual terms. In the bronze age: rivers, seas and oceans were considered deities. So people "listened" to them for guidance. The problem is this: normally a priest with understanding does this

What do you think happens when a common person with no spiritual understanding tries to listen to the motion of the ocean and tell about it? Floods.

so there was no literal global flood where only 8 humans (noah+his family) survived?

No, because he doesn't exist.

i can only speak with certainty about the bible

the nature of other floods and accounts im not particularly certain other than that they have similar reasonings

another way to consider the "floods" is that in light of the bronze age collapse society needed a backstory to build the current society upon

so flood myths could have been "created". I cant rule that out but the biblical great flood was a flood from a source that is not like other floods

so while you may hee haw about it, me personally i will not.

i can only speak with certainty about the bible

then go ahead .. speak about the bible:

genesis chapter 6: did the highlighted text below literally happen ?

"17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you."

 

[Uitomy]

Better yet how did chinese civilisation avoid being affected by the biblical "global flood" ?

You could speculate that’s why the land ended up being so fertile

how do the chinese have continued history from way back before the time of the flood? did they all forget that they were all wiped out by the biblical god?

why are you asking "me" that because of Genesis 1:2

Genesis 1:2 Hebrew Text Analysis

that must be true. Because according to Genesis 1:2 darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God hovered over the waters

so in essence, at the moment of "creation" God could have put everyone that has ever existed into the deep. But luckily for us God is good

and he took the light and separated it from the darkness and he called the light Day. and there was morning and evening
