We already have literary evidence for the story of Noah being adopted by hebrews when they were slaves in messopotania (sp) and relates to the flooding of the Black Sea which we know used to be a fresh water lake.
With respect, the people who came up with those theories were not there at the time to witness these incidents. There may be 'literary evidence' that Noah's story was adopted by the Hebrews but we also have literary evidence that it happened - it's called the Bible.

I can understand people finding scientific angles to these events being more compeling, but remember the only people who were present to witness these occurances did so and their accounts can be found in the Bible.
