There are those who would argue that we're just beating up on a straw man here. Of course nobody believes any of that stuff really happened. They're just stories and fables that were a product of their time.
Then again, I've seen some polls that state over 50 percent of Americans believe Noah's Ark really happened, and that Adam and Eve really existed

To my way of thinking there's no difference in that and virgin birth or resurrection. In 2008 there were three of the GOP presidential candidates who didn't believe in evolution...or at least said they didn't.
Noah's Ark really happened, and that Adam and Eve really existed
You were alive to say you have any idea
Anyone who actually believes two naked teen agers in a garden with a snake and apple determined the eternal fate of the human race is to be pitied IMO.

Nope. simple logic denies they were even plausible. They could not have happened. This has all been hashed out before in these pages; the details and proofs of their impossibilities have been well explored. You may have to do a little reading to catch up.
Still: it's important to note that the use of unrelated, over-simplified and illogical arguments won't cut it here. If so:
Question: Were you there in 1883 when Krakatoa supposedly erupted?
Then how do you know it did? Writings in a book? Here-say? Science, as in: geological research around the globe by thousands of independent volcanologists, grad-students, atmospherics specialists and other interested and educated parties, all coming to the same conclusions. All from, for example, sampling of it's ash residues and unique nuclear isotope signature from around the globe, all down-wind of it? Ash residue levels from the so-called and religiously dismissed "geological column"?
Naaaahhh.... Why believe all that sort of stuff, right? Since, after all, neither you nor I were there. That must mean it didn't happen, right?
(What silliness. What a patently vacuous argument; over-simplified and missing the important stuff, like evidence and logic.)
As to religion versus logical facts: I have my biology text; what's wrong with that? Even if I didn't write it? Everything, every conclusion in it, developed and accumulated over decades and even centuries, and revised as newer, more refined or corrected evidence came up.
Unlike the cast-in-stone errors entrenched in the bible, but defended with comments such as you made above.
Do The Basics Of Religions Qualify As Superstition?
I'd say it would be a good possibility, after all, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, then odds are.......
