Utnapishtim

Besides having a great name, Utnapishtim was the one man who survived the great flood according to the Babylonian flood myth. But what does that have to do with the Bible's account of Noah and the flood? If we compare the differences between the Bible's flood story and the other cultures' flood stories, then we will learn a lot about God and how he is different than any other God. And we will also learn the truth about us as humans.
