How much of the Hebrew Bible can be taken as fact?

[afleitch]

All of it.  And how is Genesis allegorical?  As an Adventist, most of my denomination teaches a literal six-day creation (creation is the subject of our current Sabbath school lesson.)  I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do believe in creation in general.

The parts that are contrary to the scientific and historical method. Do you think the experts have got that wrong?

[afleitch]

Certainly noahs ark and appocholypse and 80 year old woman having kids can be theory and resurrection. Only historical facts are literal.

Pangea can explain Noah's Ark.

First of all Pangaea began to separate about 200 million years ago, so you're some 199.9 million years out. The fact there was a supercontinent didn't mean there was more water in the form of oceans than there is today and there is not enough water or elements that can be fused to form water to adequately cover the planet in the stuff. In short it didn't happen. And of course the planet has 8.7million species; there wasn't the room for 17.4 million animals and all their food to float about on a big boat.
