yeah but you see, even religious scholars say that the flood story, as well as most of the Old Testament is not to be taken literally. At all.
I've spoken to many priests, nuns and even bishops (I was in a Roman Catholic high school for 6 years) about things like the flood and their validity, and NOT ONE OF THEM told me to take the story seriously. These are people that have devoted their lives to their religion and the study of it, and I'm pretty sure they know what they're talking about. The flood is simply one out of a ton of flood mythos that various cultures have.
