No. Because all of the christian bibles contain multiple Biblical flood myths. Read the whole Noah thing carefully. Do you see any contradictions? Do you see multiple stories?

Noah
I'll let wiki explain.
quote:
In the 19th century Biblical scholars were beginning to examine the origins of the Bible itself. The Noah's Ark story played a central role in the new theories, largely because, using the newly developed tools of source criticism, scholars discovered in the Ark narrative two complete, coherent, parallel stories. It is stated twice over, for example, that God was angered with his creation, but the reasons given in each telling are slightly different; we are told that there was a single pair of each animal aboard, but also that there were seven pairs of the clean animals; that the source of the water was rain, but also that it came from the "windows of Heaven" and the "fountains of the Deep"; that the rains lasted forty days, but that the waters rose for 150. This, they decided, was how the entire Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) had been written: the work of many authors over many centuries, combining separate sources into a single whole

Check out Genesis 6:19-20 and compare it to 7:2-3. Can this be the same story?
