Wrong on what you said about the Bible being FULL of metaphores. Full means all of it. That's wrong my friend. 25% or less of the Bible is metaphores.
As for the animals that boarded the ship, you've answered your own question.
aso ive answered the question of:
what do

and
do
you beleive that animals are in-bred?

ur weird, go join the bible bashers or something and talk about in-bred animals here, but noah didnt exsist-osrry to rain on ur parade
Well, how do you know????
Myths and legends are often based on real people and events.
I remember when i was homeless and before I came home I had two really strong feelings.
One, I was feeling there was going to be a BIG earthquake! And Second I was feeling that the SouthWest was going to get lots of rain, more than it had seen in years!
Well, when I got home in December 2004: both of these occurrences happened. The Tsunami of 2004 and the torrential rains that killed people in California because of mudslides!
So who is to say that this one guy named Noah (or Nuat in Egyptian) didn't have a similar feeling, but acted on it.
Like I just heard an earthquake on May 7, 2008. It happened in Japan. I told people there was going to be an earthquake that day, they thought I was crazy, but then it happened. Then they thought I was weird!
So there could be something inside the human brain that allows us to pickup certain frequencies of disastrous consequences BEFORE they actually happen.
Noah's ears were probably ringing for like a whole week. He noticed that whenever his ears rang, there was always a big storm, but now his ears were driving him buggy! So he put two and two together and decided that this was going to be a terrible event with catastrophic flooding.
So, how were he and his family and their goats and cows going to survive?
Easy, we build a big boat and we put everyone inside!
So, he builds the boat and other animals show up instinctually wanting a ride because they got ringing in their ears too!
Stories are always rife with embellishment and, in the case of Mythologies, sometimes contain metaphoric teachings.
The Hopi Indians have a similar story of the world being flooded. They said the Ant People came and put them inside of giant REEDS and sealed them up on the ends. Then they all floated all over the earth. That was their mythology and oral tradition from the THIRD WORLD of existence.
The Hopi Oral account tells us that we existed on three other worlds, each of which were destroyed by some type of cataclysm. The first world was destroyed by FIRE, the Second by ICE, and the Third by Water. Now we are on the Fourth World, and they have said that it well be destroyed by a Spider's Web...what does that mean? Whatever it means, they believe that time to be now, and we are in the middle of emerging into a Fifth World of civilization.
