It is a simple fairy tale based on a natural disaster. Believe it or not the camp rather or not it was a global vs local flood is a big debate in the christian camp.

I find the intra-Christain disagreement on the subject far less interesting than that a seemingly great number of Christians think it's a story about 'god's beautiful promise' and that it's a story to tell small children.

I'd just as soon sit my kid down for a Saw film festival.

In either case the child learns nothing of value.

There never was a world-wide flood.

Primitive ancient people knew nothing of the fact that the world was as huge as it is, and thus they basically knew nothing much outside the small areas where they lived. A small area flood to them would have been considered a world-wide flood.

Biblical scene you will not see in a movie:

The Great Flood

Son: God loves me.
Daughter: No, he doesn't.
Son: Yes, he does.
Daughter; No, he doesn't.
Mother: Kids. Kids! Shut up and keep swimming!
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.

JUST BELIEVE IT!

Well, if the child has any critical thinking skills, in one case, they learn that god is a genocidal dick.

Not so considering the way Xtians present the story to the child. This brainwashing even affected me as a young child, and I didn't really start to consider the true implications of the story until I was closer to adulthood. Fuck.

You mean, they don't already? Go try watching Drich explain how Genesis and reality allegedly are not in complete conflict with one another.
