one of the curious ones and "unbelievable" for me is the Noah Ark story. I find it to be a stretch or major embellishment of the truth, whatever that is.

i don't doubt a flood, but the story is very exagerrated, the entire world was flooded, noah had 2 of every animal!! (as a child, I saw illustrations of the story) they had everything...the exact dimensions given by god. like i said unbelievable to me and clearly exaggerated.
you can also say the genesis story is another "unbelievable" one. but regardless of what I find unbelievable I am sure many do find them quite believable.
