kdbrich: The Noah's Ark story is completely unbelievable, as is the Garden of Eden story, the Job story, and the lack of evidence that the Israelites were ever held prisoner in Egypt (and for the real existence of Jesus, for that matter). Of course you will not accept anything which goes against your reliance on the patchwork Bible.
And archaeologists used to doubt that David, the Hittites, and other Biblical figures/civilizations ever existed. Until they found evidence of them.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But for a book which is allegedly inspired by God and completely without error, it misses the mark all too often.

Hey' no-one said it was all made up in the minds of a few "prophests" due their injesting bad well water and wild mushrooms as they wandered around, starving, in the hot desert sun. We just hold off on believing the totally implausible (And also, of course, it's never "evidenced", 'cause of course so much of it never happened, so, voila, no evidence. Sorta makes sense, huh?...)..
I do remember though, being told as an absolute truth, that David was a normal, say, 5' 8" Jewish/Arab guy and that Goliath was at least 25 feet tall. Well depicted in the Sunday School comics of my religious education days, again, as completely factual. The story, when factually examined, indicated that Goliath might have been just a typical result of giantism, say 8 feet tall. No more. so; you can choose to believe this:
Not nearly so impressive, nor "lastingly" fear inducing.
Neat stuff like Arks holding a few hundred Million animals for a year and a half, all laughingly vegan and furiously pooping all over the deck, cleaned up by one old guy....
(always with those two giraffes, forgetting that the T-Rexs would have been about 4 times as tall, all forty of them. Per species type, times about 1000 species, times, times,......)
Yah gotta see the humor of it, kd, I mean, even you!
