You guys realize a lot of these stories are for children up to young adults to try to impart some moral values on them right?
Some of it is mythological accounts of historical events much like the Greek myths are (gods fighting each other are wars between city states).
And on some level trying to explain realities of the world through mythology.
In the ark case it's likely referring to a massive flooding event caused by some natural disaster....a story passed down over and over again.
But other things are pretty damn simple.
>Why do people die?
That's the adam and eve story and it comes with a bonus as to the importance of doing what you're told/obedient.
>Why are there different languages
That's your tower of babel story and the deeper moral there is how multiculturalism destroys great societies.
>Why are those cities in ruins and abandoned
That's your soddon and gamorah tale which combines morals of be a good host and try not to live among degenerates as you might not be as lucky as Lot when shit hits the fan.
