Note:  If you’re mormon, the church teaches it as literal history. The prophet Ezra Taft Benson said “While our generation will be comparable in wickedness to the days of Noah, when the Lord cleansed the earth by flood, there is a major difference this time. It is that God has saved for the final inning some of his strongest children, who will help bear off the Kingdom triumphantly.”
