Flapjack says:

I saw a recent documentary on the BBC in which a journalist (can’t remember which one) explored the fact and the fiction and historical evidence which supports the Noah story.
Quite aside from the logistical impossibility of getting all those species into one private yacht without them eating each other or spawning generations of sickly inbreds, it turned out that once the many translations and chinese whispers accounts were stripped away you had Noah and his family (rich merchants at the time) picnicing on a jetty with some family pets and livestock as a localised flood started. The jetty washed up on the opposite bank in the Caspian sea (or one of those other smaller seas in the Middle east). The end. No worldwide catastrophe, just a family day out with some pets that went wrong due to bad weather. No worldwide catastrophe. But like Chinese whispers they found that subsequent accounts written by early Jewish scribes added more and more to the story until you had a supertanker full of all the animals in the world and no landmass left! I wish I could find a link on Youtube!
