Ever thought that Jesus was playing to His audience? It would be much like a modern preacher saying, "and just like the prodigal son..."

this is a prime example of the tendency of some to "spiritualize" a literal event. In the passage, Jesus was refering to a SPECIFIC person (Noah) and a SPECIFIC event (the flood). Jesus was clear here...you just chose to ignore it. If you do that with the entire Bible, it becomes worthless.

Like it or not, Genesis does not square with the physical evidence

Of course, this is not true...evidence abounds of the flood....you just chose to ignore and/or try to fit this evidence into the ridiculous tale of Evolution...a religion that takes much more faith to believe in then Christianity!

So, you believe your interpretation of that passage is the only possible interpretation?  There is nothing therein that says Jesus was referring to a real event or simply referencing a commonly known story to illustrate a point.  The passage can be interpreted either way.  Mine fits with the facts.  Yours does not.

There is no evidence of a world-wide flood.  This is what we would expect to see if the there had actually been a world-wide flood.  But, of course, geology is as evil as biology, isn't it?

Your rather childish approach to Scripture will cost the Lord souls.  People will see you for the ignorant fool you are and turn away from God, thinking that only morons would worship such a deity*.  You will one day have to explain yourself to the Almighty on this one.

*Note, folks, that this sentence will be most likely be taken out of context by LBB.
