[FateAmenableToChange]

It is common to make legends out of historical events, but not history from legends.

You apparently never read Barak Obama's two autobiographies. A legend in his own mind, that one is.

what I have always found interesting is that Noah and the men of his age had almost nothing to go on when it came to worshiping God or how to live a righteous life

Read Genesis from 1:1 to where Noah appears in 5:26 and you will notice .... almost no information of how the original Jews based their religious life and what codes they lived by.

We can discern from the eden story that we should obey God, and shouldn't lie. And from the Cain and Able story that murder is wrong and that God seems to approve of the idea of sacrifice..

and that's about it.
