Good god.....did you just out yourself as a flood believer Chad? In public.... What "event" is -either- narrative referring to....precisely?

If there heaven is perfect but angels, who live in god's presence, were able to rebel and that rebellion is wrong, then heaven is not perfect. The heaven even describes Satan talking to god about Job but if Satan is evil that means that god allows evil into heaven. If evil is allowed into heaven than, again, how is heaven perfect?
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it

Which is more likely?
1- There was this cool idea for a flood story. Maybe it even started out being about a minor flood that actually happened. Word got around about it over time, and it got distorted into lots of different stories in lots of different religions.
2- There was a massive flood, generated by a deity, for which no evidence can be found.
