Like I said, I really am sure you can refute these! That is beside the point. I doubt very much you can show that your refutations are what people actually believe about the texts.
I am not arguing the text is true. I am not even arguing that a certain interpretation of the text is correct. I am pointing out that people believe certain interpretations of the text.
This is not like arguing with William Lane Craig about creationism. This is like trying to tell William Lane Craig that nobody believes in creationism.

I would be very surprised if any major religion claims that Noah had to take the animals on the ark because not taking them would be cruelty to animals. In other words, yes, my refutation is what people believe about the texts. Except I’m not going to bother going through 13 refutations.

How about, say, three? I could probably do three myself, but they would suck because I’m biased. And I’d be genuinely interested to hear it.
(This is completely beside the point, at this stage, so I can understand why you may not want to bother.)
