The skeptics who laughed at Noah for predicting the flood as the first rain & building the monster ark are all dead.
Just for the record, the "skeptics who laughed at Noah" are made up. There's no mention of any such thing in the Biblical record.

Re: Accurate knowledge?

The Bible doesn't even say specifically which animals were taken.
It says specifically that ravens and doves were on the ark. At the very least, there would have to be a genetic bottleneck for ravens and one for doves - and they would have to coincide in time. That's an experiment that creationists could do to pinpoint the time of the flood.

Re: Catechism

Whether one believes the Bible is inspired of God or not, the interpretation or meaning of the subjects in the writings is best ascertained by comparing scripture for scripture or the Bible to itself. Outside interpretation spoils it.
That isn't how we interpret any other book. We don't look for self-consistency in Treasure Island to determine Long John Silver's place in evolution.

You can have brevity and clarify, or you can have accuracy and detail, but you can't easily have both. --Percy
