That there was some guy who heard a voice and then financed and built a 150 meter boat by himself, got a breeding pair of every single land species on Earth onto said boat, and kept them from starving, killing each other, or otherwise becoming unable to reproduce until after the entire surface area of the planet was no longer covered in water.
And then there was this dude that was swallowed by a whale and he just chilled in the stomach and lit a little bit of a fire and roasted some marshmallows and then he was puked up or something later.
It’s a story about how he spent his entire wealth doing something everyone else said was not only impossible but incredibly stupid, just because of a vision from god, but in the end all those haters drowned.
That’s why evangelical Christians love that story.

There’s even a museum dedicated to this, including a “replica” of the boat!
You could argue it was an allegory, but then what the fuck would that even be an allegory for. The work of a zoologist?
