As my mother used to say, "You either believe the Bible and its fairytales on faith or you don't believe it at all."
It's beyond belief to me that anyone believes the Bible as the literal truth when it's patently obvious it's fiction. But try telling that to anyone to lives their life by it.
A waste of time. And it surely gives the delusional much comfort. And that is the essence of it all.

I seen an interesting movie on netflicks called The Man from Earth. Check it out it refers to what you are talking about
As a child it's easy to be swept away by fairytales and magical things that you find out later in your life cannot be true. Once you grow up, you have to start questioning things and wondering. How do people stop wondering at a certain age? I still think about things daily. It's not as if once I had stopped believing the bible and all religious stuff that I took the rest for granted. Science can be wrong too. They can come back next year and say this or that was not right, we found something to be wrong. The whole thing about evolving is to accept you make mistakes. To adjust your life or thinking as you go; religious zealots never even think as far as to ask "what if"..they are stuck on the year zero.
Maybe god gave Noah some beef jerky after he taught T Rex how to use the salad bar.
I almost started World War III in my family (as usual... tee hee hee ) when I asked these 3 questions:
1. What did Noah feed to the dinosaurs?
2. How did he get the smell of animal urine and feces out of wood (the ark was made of wood, right?) when, in 2013, we can barely get the smell of animal urine and feces out of carpet?
3. Where did he find a shovel large enough to scoop dinosaur poop (even though it was just a movie, did you see the size of the "poop mound" in Jurassic Park?) and how and where did he dispose of all that poop?
I have read here on this blog site, as well as from churchgoing fundamentalists with whom I have spoken on the topic, that Noah did not take two of every species on board. That of course explains no more dinosaurs.
As an example, Noah did not pack two of every kind of dog species or cat species. Rather, he pack a pair of cats and a pair of dogs. Such folk also say that all species around today are descended from those original pairs. All dogs today, all cats today, all snakes today are descended from a sing pair of the respective species.
Ironically, such folk are saying they believe in evolution!
Now I won't be able to sleep, trying to recall what it was.
That might have been my post where I provided utterly unassailable proof that it wasn't Noah's Ark, it was actually Noah's giant submarine, Noah being a maritime engineer who was far, far ahead of his time.
The submarine was discovered where it surfaced and the land dried, but was rushed off to Area 51 by the government which is keeping a lid on it. They subsequently moved it to an unknown underwater location...I have photographic proof.
