I was watching a BYU professor on the Follow Him podcast talk about Noah’s flood. She said the flood could be global, regional or a metaphor. So I assume this is current doctrine now not what Joseph Fielding Smith or Bruce McConkie taught.
Things have changed so many times since I have been a member. I am 69 years old. I believed everything I was taught as as a child up to being a missionary. I later found out that what I was taught was 10% of correct and 90% was false or changed. And the anti Mormon information I thought was 90% wrong and 10% right was just the reverse.
In the times when the Bible was written down, especially the Flood story, no one had the smallest idea of the concept of “global.” And was not qualified to discuss a global flood in any sense of the word. Flooding the “whole world” was a different scale of problem entirely. By the time they codified the Book of Mormon they knew about the globe. There have been many floods, some of them catastrophic. Amazing things happened when you melt continent spanning ice sheets, particularly meltwater pulses one and two.
