i don't think you know the bible. noah was not father of the Jews, Abraham was.
Yes he knows that, but he is not claiming otherwise. All he is saying is if there was a great flood, there would only be Jews left alive, so there would only be jews now.
And chip, please read up on evolution. Nowhere in the theory of evolution does it say that "life put itself together". Life originated as the result of various chemical reactions which formed amino acids and then proteins and then into single celled organisms. The better adapted of these survived, and due to increased competition aswell as other factors, multi-celled organisms developed ( through cell division, before you try and argue some crackpot argument that all this is impossible). Life separated into plants and animals ( fish*, as this happened in water). Animal life then went onto land, where fish evolved into the various classes of animal we have today. Doesn't this sound a lot more likely than "some all-powerful being made it all appear out of thin air".
*by fish, I mean animals that live in water.
