What about the inability of Flood jockies to to even be open to critically evaluating evidence?
The Noah legend was lifted wholesale from the Epic of Gilgamesh, too. It was Utnapishtim’s flood. The council of the gods decided to flood the whole earth to destroy mankind. But Enki or Ea (I forget who) warned Utnapishtim and told him to build a great big boat and sail off into the sunset.
Just for a laugh, check out this link, it examines whether the Noachian flood could be derived from the Utnapshtimian flood; the last few sentances are a hoot.
Article writes:
The story (Utnapshtimian Flood) is a rather silly myth that bears little resemblance to reality. In contrast, the Genesis account is a logical, seemingly factual account of a historical event. It lacks the obvious mythological aspects of the Gilgamesh epic.
My bold.

What about something along the lines of:
"Themes, descriptions, imagery and indead overall content can be traced to earlier incarnations of flood mythology such as......."
