No, what seems to you is that you are purposly twisting my words because you don't want to talk about the question.
Not at all. I love to talk about biblical things. Again, you ***ert your will over the facts. I am merely pointing this habit of yours out.

Inspiration cannot be incorrect.
Depends on whose doing the inspiring. Gloria Steinem "inspired" many incorrect things which convoluted an otherwise much needed women's movement.
Divine inspiration is not incorrect. On that point we agree.

What sort of bigger purpose can be based on a legend ? for, if the flood mentioned in the Bible really took place in ~9500 B.C., it is only a legend plagiarized from the Sumerians.
The fact that there are ancient global flood legends that predate the Genesis account of the flood does the precise opposite of what you suggest: it corroborates the Genesis account.
- The legends were handed down from generation to generation of the same catastrophic event.
- It would stand to reason that the p*** downs would get contaminated with lore and legends and myths
- Genesis is a later account of the same event with the book of Genesis and the rest of the Bible showing itself time after time to be inspired from a Source beyond time and space, by his ability (among other abilities) to see the future before it happens and have it written down in his Bible
- So the Genesis account (God's personal eyewitness account as dictated to Moses his scribe) is therefore corroborated by the other myths and legends that are p*** downs from the ancient people who saw the same event
