Ark Plan Sparks Church-State Controversy

Okay I've done it again... I'm merely trying to make a convoluted point that the story dosen't make any sense if taken literally but I don't wish to outright say that such ideas are impossible, and potentially offend some people. With me patronizingly saying that they are stupid. because that's just not a good way of going about it.

Perhaps the story of noahs flood was more symbolic. As some stories in the bible are apparently according to yourselfs intended to be taken metaphorically or the point wasn't clearly known.
Ie the story where jesus had a fat off rage at a fig tree and smashed it up with the holy wroth. Isn't a story about fig trees begin objects of your deities hate but apparently more about bearing fruit.

proper exegesis of the ancient book has to take into account the original writers and the means to which hebrew when spoken has inflexections. when it does have then the story is a parable. the genesis account isnt that.
