I have read that it's a metaphor for Christ being the Ark, which later came to save mankind. The bible itself is not in its entirety.  There were several books omitted from the bible. One book I don't understand why is not in the bible is the book of Enoch. He supposedly walked with God and was the only person ever to be taken by God without facing death. So, if he wrote a book, I would say he qualifies as someone with something to contribute.

Again, just like Jonah and the whale, many of these stories cannot be taken at face value. They are metaphors written to get out the message of God without persecution. I certify that the above facts are true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I understand that I subject myself to asshattery in the event that the above facts are found to be false. 

I guess my problem with that is a lot of people believe the bible is 100% true and correct.

And they base their life decisions, and votes, on that.

I think if was Flynn in the Trump admin that believed we were approaching the end times and so was trying to shape policy for Israel to help that along.

What do you do with those people?  They have a right to their beliefs.  They don't have a right to force them on everyone else.
