Over 700 culture telling it in no ways makes it true in any significant way, much less literally true. Camp fire stories gets passed around, until if it had a grain of truth, that grain became largely invisible behind the bullshit accummulated by people who don;t really even have a clear understanding what facts actually even means as a concept.
Just bear with me.
Let's say the world today experiences a pole reversal and it causes a massive global tsunami it wipes out everything, and everyone except those who had the foresight to bunker down like in the Colorado's or Norway's doomsday vault Which is essentially what the ark is (A repository of seed and I think even animal embryos.. what Noah's story does. Now lets say it takes 6000 years for humanity and the world to recover to the same point (more or less) to where the world is now. What indicators do you think would exist of us, and the flood 6000 years into our future? Would anything exist but a tale of a great flood that almost every single civilization who can be traced back to that period one way or another all have in common?
Again this is an example of the need for establishing what the evidence would in fact look like/Could possibly exist, BEFORE insisting/demanding that evidence can be only presented through a specific confirmation bias.
It is unrealistic to demand that specific evidence be provided, if none is available or could not possibly exist. which is what makes such an unreasonable demand a confirmation bias.
Meaning with in the frame work of a great global flood nothing could have survived but exactly what we have now. 700+ civilization who can trace themselves back to the point where these stories were told and they all share the common key points of this story.
