The reliable indicators of a true narrative are: Determinancy (words/objects that are known to exist are used in it), Connectedness (there is a time sequential pattern to the account), and Generalizability (the account can be tested or that there is residual evidence to a past non-reproducible event). The Noah Flood fits all of these criteria. This is called a TNR: True Narrative Representation. My book goes into great detail on these criteria. The Noah Flood Account has real objects in it-Determinancy. The Noah Flood Account has very precise time sequencing to it and a chiastic word structure to it-Connectedness. (Please note that the chiastic word structure is an ancient word form for expressing historical accounts.) The earth is covered by water laden strata-Generalizability. (Map with strata of North America public domain by USGS-Wikipedia) See two technical articles on TNRs by linguistics Professor John Oller below. Links to buy my book are below his links.
