"..The destruction of the world at the hands of its Creator and the survival of the one righteous family? And yet that aspect of the story falls away more than half the time.
And you seem pretty adamant to remove God from the Noah story as well...
Ever think that's how the Creator was removed from the other cultural recounts of great floods? Pesky Godless History rewriters bent on changing the story thats been passed down for eons.

I could go on about obstacles that the Noah myth has to overcome, such as..." Yes, you could go on about the obstacles YOU face in believing in the truth of the Bible, "but I know that there is just no point because you made up your mind however long ago and, for whatever reason, the possibility that you are wrong terrifies you past the point of being able to consider it. So I will spare us all the bother."
IMO, trying to use science to disprove someone else's beliefs makes you look petty.

"Really, I just like typing."
Actually, I think you like to 'see/hear' yourself type. Otherwise, you would not bother hitting POST if it was truly just about 'typing'.

“IMO, trying to use science to disprove someone else’s beliefs makes you look petty.”

Why should belief be sacrosanct? Just because someone believes something doesn’t mean that everyone else should respect that belief. Some people believe Hillary Clinton will make a great president, should we not try to convince them otherwise? Some people believe that Socialism will cure the world’s ills, should we respect that belief because to try to convince them otherwise would be petty? I feel that biblical literalism is as dangerous an idea as any other in American society and more dangerous than most. Therefore I strive against it.
