That statement contains two huge lies / errors Dave-

1) The Flood is not a real event - at least, not the one in the Bible while
 there is  geological and archaeological evidence for a localised flood in
 Mesopotamia about 7,000 years ago, there is absolutely nothing to.support
 the utterly mythical global one.

2) The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh is about 5,000 years old and predates the
 writing of Genesis by over 2,000 years.

In it, there is an account of the great sage Utnapishtim, who is warned of
 an imminent flood to be unleashed by wrathful gods. He builds a vast
 circular-shaped boat, reinforced with tar and pitch, that carries his
 relatives, grains, and animals. After enduring days of storms,
 Utnapishtim releases a bird in search of dry land.

Sound at all familiar? It is the story of Noah that is an overblown
 retelling of the myth.
