Considering that the bible is a fictional narrative derived from the opinion of man, it is quite unreliable as a source of historical evidence.
The opinion of man? never but god had them write the bible through the years. Do you think a God that can create a whole universe has a problem protecting his word?

Do you think it existed? Cause I sure don't. It is one of the more ridiculous claims in the bible

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Ok I have one for you - Explain this:
Exodus 2
18 When the girls returned to Reuel their father, he asked them, “Why have you returned so early today?”
Exodus 4
18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”

I think an omniscient god could have done a scientifically better job in explaining how the world worked. As it is, the bible is full of inaccuracies due to the fact that primitive man was not so much divinely inspired as he had an overactive imagination and an ulterior motive for the fictional works he created.
Primitive men created a primitive god, and a primitive worldview is evident from reading the primitive text. The bible is nothing more than a reflection of primitive times.

Or how about the fact that God needed to go down to 'Sodom and Gomorah' to see what was happening because he 'Heard' their cries from 'Heaven'

One of my favourites is the bit where "God" had trouble finding Dirtman and Ribwoman in an enclosed (thus finite) garden because they were standing behind a tree.

This has been done to death but you are new here so i'll go over the main points.
First, the flood, there is no evidence of a world wide flood. Where did the water come from? Where did it go?
Secondly, pretty much every species of animal that couldn't swim, was on that ark. The ark would have had to have been impossible big to fit all the animals on and have enough food for all of them and the humans aboard. How did the humans manage to feed all the animals, remove their waste and feed themselves. There was only like 10 people aboard right? How did they survive with no fresh water?. Why did the animals not eat each other?.Also how did all the animals get there? How for example did the sloth manage to crawl all the way there in time to get aboard. Also 2 of every animal right? So then why is there no evidence of a genetic bottleneck all of the species alive today?
I will be extremely surprised if you can answer all of these questions without saying goddidit or resorting to magic, but you are entitled to try.
