Do Christians REALLY believe the story of Noah?

[sral]

I think the point Mutilate is missing is that, all those years ago, the actual animals within Noah's limited parameters were literally, a few goats maybe? Chickens? Possibly a pig and a pet dog?

There would be a lot of animals that would have existed on earth, but he wouldn't necessarily of come across them as the means of travel etc wouldn't allow for it. All the animals he knew of would have been those in close proximity. Therefore when he saved 'all the animals' it probably means he saves all those known to him. A handful. Let's say twenty AT MOST.

A lot of today's animals wouldn't have been known to the untravelled Noah of 2000 years ago, bruh.
