What if we find evidence that Noah actually didn't take one pair of every animal, and that the story is historically flawed (and there is evidence to show this), should we still be stubborn and insist that what is said to have happened actually happened?[/quote]
As a muslims we believe that science is not absolute, Allah can anytime interfere into the natural and physical laws of science. Also, at anypoint scientific theories cannot be called ultimate truth. These can progress and change anytime. Just imagine in 19th century newton's law of motion and gravitation looked so much real, but all found to be just an approximation and not exact! Thanks to einstien. Again what you have said about Noah taking pair of each creation on ark.. you can refute it only by hypothesis, there is no real way to confirm or deny it.
Even if we agree to accept it as metaphorical, how do you explain it metphorically. I don't think this specific event can be explain this way, only thing is you accept it as truth or lie.[/quote]

Actually, there is very strong evidence which shows us the Noah was on the Euphrates river (i can't remember his real name) and that the flood happened there (they dated it and everything) and they were able to figure out pretty much exactly what happened.  The boat he went on was for trading it and it had things like beer and livestock (because thats what was traded in the Euphrates at the time), and they lived on those until they landed somewhere else (can't remember exactly where).

You can try searching it...you'll find it interesting.

Now that we have strong evidence supporting the real story, which discredits the religious story...should we still deny truth and just say "it could be wrong"?[/quote]
