I do not know if the story is meant to be taken literally or otherwise but what I find laughable is that you are so willing to find fault with a story that could never have taken place scientifically unless God helped. And since the story does claim that God helped then there could always be a miraculous explanation for any of your objections. Why bother to find fault with a story for being inconsistent with a naturalistic world view when it never claims to be consistent with a purely naturalistic world view?

But for sake of argument let's stipulate that the story is meant to be literal. Where does the story say that Noah lost the plans? Where does it say that millions of species were on board? Isn't it only your conjecture that the depth of the water was as high as Mt Everest? Maybe the problem lies more with your interpretation than with the story.

Some day you will face your maker and when that day comes will you want to say that you rejected Him and His salvation because you did not like one of the stories? Knowing every thought of yours He will know if this is genuine or just an excuse. Even if genuine then you will still have to answer for the times that you have hurt your fellow man.
