But I find literal readings of Torah in general (and Noah in particular) problematic. As the character River Tam says, in an episode of the television show Firefly, "Noah's ark is a problem. We'll have to call it 'early quantum state phenomenon.' Only way to fit five thousand species of mammal on the same boat." Not only is Noah's story difficult to reconcile with logic, it's also fascinatingly similar to the flood stories of other ancient Near Eastern cultures--notably this Sumerian one and the one from the Epic of Gilgamesh--which calls its unique divine origin into question for many readers.
