I believe in miracles - however Genesis 6 - Genesis 9 doesn't indicate that anything other than naturalistic forces were at work. To mix this account with other accounts that clearly describe supernatural intervention fails the "rightly dividing" test.

Better to just believe the Bible for what it says. And, when it is clearly parabolic or metaphoric in nature, it's best to not try and force one's own private interpretation upon the text.

You, in fact, are demonstrating a method of "picking and choosing" here. You are also making a good argument for taking the Bible out of the public schools.
