We know nothing of the sort, you merely assume it based on his educational pedigree. You need to first show where he says anything to reflect his belief in those critical theories before you have a leg to stand on.
I doubt he thinks that Adam was strictly allegorical as that would go against the teaching of the Church. The history of his civilization tells him that is the real ark so don’t expect him to give it up. Your Noahide beliefs, on the other hand, are rather peculiar for the redneck crowd as well as your vociferous rejection of Jesus.

I assume it not only based on his educational background but on the fact that he's the patriarch of an ancient liturgical church. All the ancient liturgical churches ahve sold out, without exception. Do you honestly believe any Armenian church cleric actually believes that Noah's Ark once rested on Mt. Ararat? They don't even believe Noah existed!
The ancient ethnic "oriental" churches are the most liberal churches in the world. They have long since traded all theological content for ethnic identity, and they share the same peculiar allergy to Fundamentalist Protestantism that leads them to depend on liberal Protestant critical theories in order to discredit sola scriptura.
And for your information, most American Noachides are Southern rednecks. Unlike the ancient liturgical chr*stian churches, traditional insular Orthodox Judaism hasn't sold out.
