i don't think you know the bible. noah was not father of the Jews, Abraham was.
Studies have shown that people who do not believe the religions generally know the scripture of those religions better than the believers. I have not said anything about Abraham - I am referring to the MYTH of the great flood - and what would have HAD to result if it HAD happened - and the fact that it DID NOT HAPPEN.
THe problem with the MYTH of the great flood is that if it had happened - there would have been a point in the history of the world when ALL civilizations would have ended -drowned - and all people TODAY would have had to have been from the bloodline of Noah. THAT did not happen. WE have records of a number of civilizations - Egypt among them - that were unaffected by such a flood.
THe great flood is established to be a MYTH - a fabrication
Once you determine that a part of a so called PERFECT INERRANT text - is NOT true - you call ALL of it into question. It can no longer be said that it is entirely true - so its truth rests on the proof OUTSIDE of the text itself that verifies the text.
While it is NOT unusual for a fiction writer to include real places and events into otherwise fictional writings - the fact that London does exist - in no way verifies that James Bond, Sherlock Holmes - or Harry Potter - were in any way real.
AS far as the professors of religion - it is NOT The duty of the government to perpetuate a LIE - in any way. It is the duty of the government to protect its people AGAINST those that would perpetuate the lie.
