However, if you want to prove the literal truth of Bible stories such as Noah's Ark, you need material evidence for your claims...

How can one apply material evidence to a supernatural event? This inability to prove a supernatural event with material evidence is not, however, proof that the event is a myth that did not occur.

So, you're saying belief in evolution is incompatible with belief in a higher code of morality and ethics?

No, go back and read my statement. A belief in naturalism is incompatible with belief in a code of morality and ethics. It's a naturalist basis for belief in evolution that makes evolution incompatible with belief in a higher moral code. A belief in evolution from a non-naturalist basis may or may not be incompatible with belief in a higher code of morality and ethics.

The basis for the event may be supernatural, but the event itself (the Ark, the flood) should have material evidence, if they did occur.

You're the one claiming these events occurred. I'm simply asking for proof.
