Genesis 1-11.5 is allegory. One can save a lot of time by keeping that in mind.
If allegory, what is the moral lesson of the genocide of Noah's day?
Why show a God who kills instead of a God who cures.

It is no stranger than DNA manipulation by our ancient ancestors.

That's what I have learned here. If you can conceive of something, no matter how outlandish, and disregarding any evidence to the contrary or complete lack of evidence, the world is your oyster and anything goes, and should be considered just as valid as any other conclusion. I am just perpetuating this myth of equivalency.

Well I don't know what your first remark means and I don't want to play games with your second.

Cave means 'beware'.

I assume you get the other point.
