You are most certainly welcome to believe that; I disagree.

Clearly there should be proof, or at the very least evidence, for a claim such as that.

Considering the world's three largest religions all corroborate some or much of what is in what is considered the Bible, I think it's fair to say there's some validity and grain of truth to it all. It is for this reason that many will say that Jesus Christ did exist - of course the question of whether he was just a smooth-talking carpenter or the Son of God or whatever-you-will is entirely debated. But, the fact that he existed is corroborated. Similarly, the Great Flood is corroborated in many other items of folklore besides Judeo-Christian ones (the Story of Gilgamesh for one).

Otherwise, why listen to it? Without proof or even evidence, allowing such a claim to be a shield for any idea derived from it is ridiculous.

Some people like to operate under the belief that they have a higher purpose in life than to simply live and die and call it a day.
