Regarding the flood? Pretty much all of it, but unless you can explain to me how Noah had the ability to round up tigers and penguins and polar bears and other animals that literally exist in different areas of the world. Do I have to explain the logistics of this? I doubt we could even do this today without leveraging modern technology.
It's far more plausible that this is a story based on a local event, not a global catastrophe. If you want to believe that the world's most advanced mobile zoo existed in ancient times, that's fine. i don't have a problem with the Bible, but I am not going to take everything in it literally.
Are native americans semites or are they Noah's distant cousins? How about Chinese people? They sure as hell look Semitic...NOT
Look, I have my beliefs too, but come on dude, it's not all literal.
