Moses was not born when Noah survived the flood. How the heck did Noah know the details?
Good question actually.
There are a couple possibilities:
Moses had documents handed from Noah down to Abraham, then to Isaac, then to Jacob (who was renamed "Israel") and when the sons of Israel went down to Egypt, and finally left Egypt, Moses was given the documents.
In the genealogy below, you can start with Noah then to Shem etc.:
of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Tera, of Nahor, of Serug, of Reu, of Peleg, of Eber, of Shelah, of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah,
(Luk 3:34-36)
Another possibility is that Christ gave Moses a first-hand account since He was there.
But I am glad you believe Noah survived the flood.

I think you meant to query: "How the heck did Moses know the details?"

No such indication of such documents exists, whether in reality, or in the bible, or in theological studies.

Well, that would be a unique game of telephone, wouldn't it be? We all know how those work out.

Newsflash. Your christ had not arrived yet when Moses was around. According to your myths.
