It wasn't not ago that the church would burn you to death if you were caught with any reading material even the bible !

Could you point to three of those cases? Thanks in advance.

That doesn't make it true.

We know for a fact that the Noah story, as described by the bible, is not literal truth.
It is not the inerrant Word of God.   It's allegory.
God did not come down and save 8 people floating on a boat full of the worlds animals for a year.
Speculate about the origin of the story all you want ... but just don't say it's literal truth.
Cuz' it's not.
There was a thread at ATS on this ... something like 70 pages.

"Literal truth", I thought you weren't into semantic absolutes?

Isn't 'relative' truth more the thing of the moment?

Not all at once the overload would be just horrific and Nope carrion eaters with no place to roost would be dead also even the bacteria woould be dead or atleast most because of water chemistry changes .

Carrion eaters are things that eat dead things. It encompasses more than buzzards.

And every single lifeform dies. That means that the entire living population, every single creature, of each and every species dies.

For annual lifecycle butterflies, it means that every single one of them alive this year, will be dead next year. For other living things, life spans are longer, but they will all die when their lifespan is over. The entire population in their generation.

It takes a human body, at roughly sea level in tepid water, about 14 days to decompose to a skeleton. After 40 or more days, there would be no floating carcasses left. Bones in water with a 'normal to high' carbon content (which raises water acidity) under water pressure, would dissolve in a few months.

Fundamentalists read Genesis as literal truth ... the inerrant literal Word of God.
We know for a fact that the story is not literal truth.   It's allegory.  
God did not come down from heaven and save only 8 humans floating on a boat
full of animals 4200 years ago.   Simply didn't happen like that.

If it's allegory, then what does it mean?

I was taught at a young age that it really happened.

What lesson can we take from this fiction story?
It seems to me that any notion of an omnibenevolent deity is flat out false. Clearly, this hypothetical being has favorites and hates most plants, animals, and people generally.

How could you get two of every species into a boat that small? And what does the issue have to do with Christmas?

Asking for a friend.
