Or a meteor could have caused the flood and men wrote about it. One such book that contains the story is the Bible. The Bible is a book written and printed by men. That we know.
I think my point was, there are some that discount the findings of scientific inquiry because the Bible explains it all; and others who do not look in the Bible, but only go by the slow meanderings of science.
I see value in both approaches, since both are attempts to describe the world and explain what we see around us. Neither are perfect and neither are terribly accurate, but looking at both ways of seeing things helps explain people and their thoughts.
