I don't see the point of the question. Your clear vitriol against Scriptural narratives aside, I would have to seriously challenge the underlying, albeit unmentioned presuppositions about the value and meaningfulness of Western conceptions of "historicity." Why is it that only that which can be historically verified is of value? And for that matter, upon what basis does one determine historical veracity?
All of these assumptions are taken for granted by Western epistemological methodologies. However, very few call the legitimacy of such into question, choosing, rather, to blindly capitulate to the hegemonies of thought which have been foisted upon them by centuries of unquestioned philosophical paradigms.

I do belive Noah's ark is not true. Pretty much I disregard everything pre Christ. The only thing I follow is Christ's teachings, and I think that would cover me. I dont do any of the bible readings or anything because Christ summed it up nicely. End of story, move one with life.

It would make me feel disappointed that God lied, and wonder what else he lied about. Then I'd probably ask him, "How do I know you're really God?", to which he'd probably strike me with lightning. Oh, and to the guy that said he follows Jesus' teachings only, you must not read the Bible much- Jesus referred to Noah and the flood at Matthew 24: 36-39. DANG! THAT'S GOTTA HURT!!!

That fact remains, you said "God"; therefore, you admit His existence. Now; Noah's Ark is credible - isn't it? Even if the event was recorded many millennia ago ! This makes me feel fine in my belief system !!!

To be honest.....this is a story to make the Hebrews aware of being unquestionably obedient to their God.
That's the purpose of the Old Testament....I don't believe in God so I'm not biased.

People only avoided the part about the guy on board with the hook because it was too scary to pass down to other generations...

It didn't take god for me to figure this out, but if I started hearing voices I'd probably become religious.

I'd be extrememly relieved. Then I'd ask aboout Jonah, and ask what happened after the story ends.

Why would He record this in His Word and then turn around and refute it. God cannot lie. He is Holy.

It wouldn't make me "feel" anything. He would still by my God.
