Wait...Noahs ark was about baptism? You think that a tale develeped by a different culture, in a different faith tradition, that predates your faith tradition...was somehow -about- some article of your current faith tradition? You do realize that this position is patently ludicrous....yes?
Perhaps your church chooses to use this story to express their viewpoint on that issue, perhaps you have decided that when you read noahs ark you think of baptism, these are reasonable suggestions. To suggest that an author who lived and died before your own tale was ever spun created a story -about- your story, is not. Whatever you may -use- the story for, it was and is definitely not about baptism. It's about a big fuck-all flood.
