Dear Brother Ron
Is this what the story of Noah means? If we take this story as a fable, as I believe the author meant us to, then God is the personification of nature and the ark symbolizes science. Does this mean the author is trying to tell us that science is the thing that will save us from the wrath and fury of nature?

Dear Speedfreak
Actually, the story is meant to explain the different races of man. After the flood, Ham went north and founded the Hamites (caucasians). Shem stayed home and was the father of the Shemites (semites-Arabs and Jews). Japheth went south and fathered the Japhethites (Negroid). Of course, that still doesn't account for the orientals but I guess they were irreleant.
Details, all the time details.
Best always
Brother Ron
