I like you Ape, keep up the research.

How did flood myths start because Noah's Ark isn't the only one?
Flood Myth Hypotheses
It looks like flood stories from around the world were inspired by real things. Not that this helps where discussions about Jesus are concerned, though, because there's no concrete proof that Jesus was a real thing, so to speak.
For me, the really interesting questions are the origins of beliefs which got attached to the Christian religion and just how old are they? Our species has had religion for a very long time and scientists and psychologists are looking into the Evolutionary Origins Of Religion. Nobody has figured out why we developed it so there are many different ideas.
Brian37 is right in saying that religious mythology is as fictional as Harry Potter but some people like myself are interested in it because it says a lot about our species and how our brains work.
