"I was telling them to you and got you to tithe to me because you will believe anything without doing any thinking."
Except that you are, doubtless, totally inept with respect to all the rest of God's job description.
(and if you think you CAN tell a fable and get people to pay you...well DO IT, it beats working) But the Job calls for more than fable telling abilities. You would be worthy of thiths if you could call a people your 'chosen' ones and inspire them to pass along in precisely and exactly it's original form to ALL SUBSEQUENT GENERATIONS a book (Torah)even while they are hated and persecuted and chased from place to place.
If God said He destroyed the earth with water but had a guy called Noah make an ark and carry certain things in it then it behooves people of Faith to believe it even if it seems ridiculous.
THAT'S why it is called "faith".

It takes faith to belive a fable, even though you know it is unprovable and impossible.
We all have a hearty laugh when we read about scientology and its silly stories of Xenu and engrams. But, look at the ark story outside your religion, and think. Its just as silly.
No one here has yet explained what the animals ate, how they got there, how they got home and how a wooden boat could be built large enough without cracking under its own weight.
