and his ark, well if something like hurricane katrina could happen and there were levees protecting water from coming in, isnt it very much possible that noah's ark really occured
(mainly for the non believers).

I've brought up this question before but I'll bring it up again in case someone will take a gander.

It is rather convenient for people to decide what should be literal and what is figurative. If decades from now, science is able to undeniably prove that Noah's ark existed and that the Great Flood did occur, then people will say that the Bible is literal. If otherwise, they can say it's figurative; take it as a symbolic story.

How can we have this fickle, topsy-turvy understanding of the Bible, when it is the authority of Christian knowledge?

Sadly you're right... people would take everything literal for that lol.
