That's fine and dandy but what has the two mythical figures the A & E you're referring to got to do with, well anything?

The first 11 chapters of Genesis aren't an attempt at historical record, ippy et al.  They were written long after the rest of Genesis and are a theological explanation - for the Jewish people - of how their God differs from and is more involved in their lives than the gods of neighbouring cultures - especially those of the Babylonian Empire - in the lives of those who worship them.

You're not telling me Archbishops have sex lives, are you? :o
