Of the Christians on this site, how many of y'all believe that Noah's Ark and the Worldwide flood were historic events vs metaphorical/exaggerated?

It's a 100% historical fact

It has elements of truth but it was more allegorical

It was 100% made up

You can only vote on one answer.

I mean, the science from several different fields precludes a global flood ever having happened but i don't expect the general public to be very familiar with that so i'm just interested to hear what folks believe.

Most the Bible are just retold legends from the middle east. Gilgamesh has a flood legend. Resurrections are all through Mesopotamian, Hittite and Egyptian myths.

Elaine Pagels has several books on this topic. She is a legit scholar on the history of religion.

Yeah there's definitely a lot of sharing of mythology which is not surprising from an anthropological perspective.
