D'oh. I wasn't cherry picking anything, but simply explaining how
folkloric tales, many of which were common enough among our disparate
and distant ancestors, became written down, and that there were events
that stimulated the folk tales, and were earlier man's attempts to
explain what he didn't really know. As I stated, there is evidence of a
"great flood" in biblical times, and the story of Noah came about as a
way to explain it. That doesn't mean I think the story of Noah is for
real, it just means I understand the oral tradition and folklore.
That's not a difficult concept. I'm surprised you don't get it.
