Jesus and the writers of the New Testament who were Jews believed the historic creation account and Flood and Job's account to be non-fictional. That is good enough for me.
The writers of the New Testament might have believed it Eusebius. but to point out the patently obvious, it was (as Mighty Queen said) 2000 years ago. 2000 years ago people understood almost nothing about the natural world . Of course they made up stories to explain what they didn't understand.
One creation myth is as good as any of the other myriad of creation myths out there.
Can't wait until a cockatrice or a satyr fossil is found. Surely they were on the ark?
Which Bible has "satyr" in it?
Here is the KJV:
Isa_34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
Here is a properly translated Bible:
Isa 34:14 And falcons shall encounter each other in arid places, and the hairy goat shall call to its associate. Yea, there shall lull the hoot owl, and find for itself a rest."
H8163
satyr
saw-eer', saw-eer'
From H8175; shaggy; as noun, a he goat; by analogy a faun: - devil, goat, hairy, kid, rough, satyr.
Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries
So, yes, the hairy goat did make it onto the ark. Do you have any more stupid comments?

Actually they had the historic accounts of how the earth was created and the heavens and all life on earth were created. 2000 years removed just goes to prove how stupid people have become in our present day.
There is no creation account even close to equaling the historic account as found in the Sacred Scriptures.

So all those wandering desert tribes could have goats to herd, of course.
It says it was a serpent. It also doesn't say it had legs, only that it would crawl on its belly. In other words, it would leave the trees and exist on the ground.
Would these not be vestigial legs? Clearly these serpents used to have legs.
