I watched a show about it last night on the Discovery Channel. They pretty much "sunk" (witty, huh?) any literal interpretations of it.
Does anyone here believe it should be taken literally? That the earth was actually covered in water for 40 days, that Noah built a boat the size of the Titanic, and that he managed to get 2 of every species of animal on the planet?
As for myself, I believe that the story actually did spring from an actual event, probably a massive river flooding in Mesopotamia. But that the biblical story is just a retelling of the earlier Mesopotamian stories.
