The bible doesn't state that, "ALL LIFE DIED OUT". The bible states that God flooded the earth 40 days and 40 nights. Some people like to try to discredit the bible by talking about Sumerian tablets which also talk about a "great flood" before Moses wrote about it. To me, that's simply confirmation. When it started raining, people were still alive on earth. These cultures could have written about what God did. That's not out of the realm of possibility. Also, before it rained on Noah, it had NEVER RAINED BEFORE ON EARTH. That's why people were looking at him strange when he talked about "rain." God watered the land with dew. Before then, there was no precipitation. Biblical scholars corroborate this through the creation account and the incidents surrounding Noah and the ark. God flooded the earth. It's clearly stated. Don't say it's not written in the bible. If you don't believe it happened, fine. But, don't dare say the account isn't given in the text because it is.
