What do you believe about the Flood, by the way?
Its probably an historical event - don’t know about the details though. The part about the flood story I don’t understand is the one about the daughters of men and the giants in the earth.
I think there is a lot of history and a lot of symbolism and allegory in the Bible. We have to read it and figure out what God is telling us. Sometimes its pretty obvious - such as the ten commandments and the REPEATED injunctions against the Israelites NOT to do what the evil nations before them did (such as depraved sexual practices, offering their children as a sacrifice to Moloch) or the Promised Land would vomit them forth. He’s peaking DIRECTLY to US, HERE AND NOW in that passage.
