"Obviously this Noah biblical account was a myth built around a true story of survival in a hurricane."

Well, I might accept that Noah's story was mythical, but you'll never convince me that Bill Cosby lied to me.

Old COS? A liar? Really though, the Noah story is a small grit of truth wrapped in a lie, like a pearl begins as a piece of grit in the clams mouth, that it surrounds with nacre, a beautiful pearl. People SAY they want to know TRUTH...until their own religious myth is shown for what it is, a myth.

Think of it though, all these centuries pakistani children, ie, arabs, jews, all who claim descent from abraham, have been taught this myth as if it was truth. Bible pounders insist that everything herein is TRUTH. Yes, mostly right but the noah myth is just that : a myth cooked up by pakistani sheepherders around a campfire in iraq 5000 years ago, based upon an old but true story of a hurricane survivor. They themselves would be astonished that this fish story they cooked up(Mt Ararat, animals 2 by 2, etc)would be taught in christian sunday schools 5 millenia later. If they had known about Mt Everest, noah’s ark hunters would be climbing all over its peak now.

Truth is where Sherlock Holmes finds it...
