Genesis 6 makes the creation story of the first 3 chapters come alive for me. It depicts outright interference by rogue “spiritual” elements which caused great violence and destruction upon the Earth. It really is a depiction of genomic interference from outside entities...the war of Satan’s seed against the seed of Eve. The first 3 chapters begin making a lot of sense when viewed thru the lens of Genesis 6.
I suspect secretly a lot of folks “in the know”(yes even the evil secret movers and shakers as well) all ready have grasped this. The movie of Noah(trailers available) which is coming out this spring, seems to depict a blossoming of this root of thinking. God is warning us, even thru indirect means via the media. We will have no excuse...we are entering the Day of the Coming of the Son of Man, which as fore told, would be like the Days of Noah.

I don’t have much problem with this line of thinking. It is really the plainest reading of the text, especially once you take into account related passages from other books of the Bible. The problem I have, though, with your previous post, is that you are going down the materialist rabbit hole, trying to “explain away” things that are described as miraculous by attributing them to natural causes.
So, instead of God opening the firmament and fountains of the deep to cause a flood, you posit that a comet could have caused something that appeared to mortal men how it was described in Genesis. This casts doubt on two different aspects of the Bible.
First, it contradicts the divine authorship of the book. After all, God, if He was the author, would not be constrained by a human perspective, and would know the difference between a comet impact and a supernaturally caused deluge. So, if the author made a mistake and attributed the wrong cause, the author could not be God.
Second, by seeking to explain the miraculous events with naturalist causes, you cast doubt on every miraculous event in the Bible. Why, if the flood is “too miraculous” to believe, as written, is the incarnation of Christ not “too miraculous”, or Christ’s resurrection “too miraculous”? There’s no way to close that door behind just Genesis, once you have opened it.
