Hello Helen,
For one thing, the story of Noah, by itself, is just too damn
boring for the average intelligent person to sit through. Second,
they didn't do any worse than the authors of the Bible itself.
After all, if they, the Bible authors, can invent some history,
why can't Hollywood? And as for Xtians seeing how awful these
stories are: no offense Helen, but, dream on! ;-)

Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to receive,
The words of Jesus to believe.
