Personnaly I'm atheist. I just got the impression that fundamentalist never needed proof or a scientific explanation for anything anyway. So I was wondering why they needed a scientific explanation for the flood if they didn't need it for their god. It just seems strange to me.

If we have no objective manner of differentiating fantasy from reality in this way, why arbitrarily have faith in this particular magical fairy tale, but not any other magical fairy tale from other religions?
My personnal answer would be to not believe in any of the fairy tales. I can't answer for one who believes in a deity though.

Why don't we simply have faith in any and every fantasy we come up with, since corroboration with objective reality is apparently unimportant anyway?
While I can't claim to understand religious people, the fairy tale they believe in will depend on their education and they can't choose several at the same time since they are often contradictory. I suppose It's easier to just believe what you are taught than trying to think.
