Consider my earlier post:
If the story of Noah's Flood was true, there would be evidence for a global flood and it would make sense that one man could build a boat and put two of every animal in it, and that somehow fresh or salt water fish could survive such an event and be saved from whatever composition the flood water had. I'm assuming since the flood came with rain that it was mostly fresh water so all sea life would have died.
This is miraculous, as there is a lot of magical things going on. However, if I told you that I have a pet dinosaur that I found in a cave that goes to the bottom of the Earth, that would be equally miraculous and you would easily denounce my story. Whats the difference between the two stories, how can you logically deduce that my story is false and the story of Noah is true? The difference is that one story is older and a lot more people told you it was true. If the story was switched, and I told you that I built a boat and put every animal on it and the Bible had a story about a dinosaur living in a cave that goes to the center of the Earth, you would switch which story you believed in.
Concerning Noah's Flood, it makes much more logical sense to say that it was a myth just like countless other myths going around at that time.
