Did you know vampires are also a myth consistent all over the globe, spanning almost all cultures from ancient to modern times? Should we assume they are representative of reality, too?

Did it make you hopping mad?
OK, I'll leave.
Only because they skipped the question
Australia is obviously an island, kangaroos can swim but i doubt that far, koala bears are one of the slowest animals in the worldw

Flowers are red?
So Koalas returned to Australia to feed on eucalyptus leaves? Nasty. If Koalas could eat figs and dates and olives why did ALL the koalas return to Australia? Eucalyptus?

Well no more far fetched then people turning into salt but at the same time God had to ask himself an important question and answer it all the same . . .
Believing in a literal flood event means accepting a lot of magical intervention on God's part. Either via angels or miraculous restoration or what have you. Because without which a global flood would have destroyed the world period and no boat would have saved Noah and his family. From fallowing land with removal of topsoil and saline pollution to effecting the wobble and rotation speed of the planet. The global flood is not a scientifically legitimate story, and never has been.

Sillier still is the notion that God needed to save the animals. Why didn't He just let them all drown and then after the floods receded simply snap his metaphorical fingers and create a whole new batch of them? Apparently he originally created them all with a fraction of a single day, so it clearly wouldn't have been that difficult.

And why bother killing anything other than humans in the first place? All the other life, bunny rabbits, blue whales, buttercups, and bacteria never sinned. Why pick on them? All in all, an extremely inefficient process. God must be in his doddering and waning years to do something so artless. And If we mere mortals can see the folly of his ways, it isn't saying much for the big guy. Is there an old folks home for gods?

Noah was based on a famous character from ancient Sumerian myth called Utnapishtim. He featured in the Epic of Gilgamesh from about 2100 BC, which predated the OT. A crafty serpent also features. Well worth checking that out.

And just over 100 years after the flood God had to step in and confuse the common language and disperse people to the four corners of the earth.
Perhaps the genesis account is one man's explanation of why things are the way they are and not intended to be taken literally? Moses was surely exposed to Sumerian literature in Egypt.

The Ark of Noah in my belief was a metaphor for the Covenant of God:
Again the Ark of Noah represents this Covenant. The "everlasting covenant" with Abraham that "his seed would inherit the earth" explains the promise, Moses fulfilled this Covenant on Mount Sinai. Christ referred to this Covenant when he spoke of Peter as the "rock" upon which the church was to be built.

Noah's Ark is a very long discussion.
Hey what the hell is it a watch tower with a big watch or a watchtower like a prison!? I mean this crap is completely nonsensical unscientific garbage.
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
