Do you think racism is the root of all evil?

I take it someone forgot to teach you the difference between a parable and the truth.

Did you forget the first statement in your post?

It happens. Nobody's perfect.

As it is, you have yet to prove that the Genesis flood was a parable when flood legends can be found all over the world.

Flood Legends From Around the World

So if you were a police officer taking down reports from all the witneses at an accident scene, you would get various sides of the accident; but after rooting out the embellishments, you can find a common story arriving out of all those witnesses to get to the truth of the matter.

And if there were only eight survivors of that global flood, then there would be various accounts of the flood handed down through history spread out through all of mankind.

We have extrabiblical accounts of Jesus Christ existing. That means secular reliable sources.

From establishing the existence of Jesus, we have the lineage given in the Bible going all the way back through Noah to Adam; the first man.

Kind of hard just to say that Noah and his family was just some made up character of a Biblical parable; and thus one has to reconsider the global flood as an actual event that took place in mankind's history.

We have science hinting that a global flood or a series of global floods had occurred that was responsible for the Cambrian explosions of fossil records, favouring puntuated macro evolution over gradualism; not hinting at all as to how high the global flood was.

We have news article of fossilized whale bones found with other marine life on mountaintops with fossilized land animals together in mass graves even though science continue to categorize all fossils by the measurements of C-14 and if not that, the geologic time chart of the evolution theory ( which the geologic layers of that chart cannot be found any where in the world ); all based on the idea that there was no cataclysmic event within human history that would throw off all the measurements of how old something really is.

An ancient Chinese pictographs for boat is made up of three small symbols of that pictograph and that is eight, mouths, vessel. Coincidence? I think not.

It does not prove anything for sure, but it certainly prove it was not a parable. Time to reconsider your previous notion about it, wouldn't you say?
