So I am merely asking for clarification as to whether you are arguing that the article sonhouse linked is inaccurate in its listing of similarities or whether you find the similarities insignificant. I think your answer ...[text shortened]... writter of genesis did not necessarily know of the sumerian account despite 10 similarities.
The writer of Genesis was Moses and he got the information from God, not from the distorted account of the Sumeritans, who Moses never met.

shameless misquote. that's okay, i'm used to religious goofballs dishonestly misquoting to get a small temporary advantage.
"It is true that there are many points of resemblance between
the narratives in cuneiform and Hebrew, and these often illustrate
each other, but the fundamental conceptions of the Babylonian and
Hebrew accounts are essentially different."

No it isn't. The Torah has always been known as the five books of Moses because Moses wrote the first five books. According to Jewish tradition the Torah was dictated to Moses by God, with the exception of the last eight verses of Deuteronomy which describe his death.
And of course being the British museum, they would be paragons of unbiasedness. The fact they are Christian to the last man and woman has no bearing on it, right?
Wrong. Of course they would shore up the biblical tradition, they have to if they mean to keep on getting those millions they need to stay open.
I suggest our Biblical friends read the many books by James Pritchard covering the Biblical Near East - it was required reading in the school I did graduate work at. Wait...why would they want to read something by a very educated man when one can learn from a misguided 16 year old in ten minutes - silly me.

Silly me? Silly you. You claim to be a Christian but also claim that you seldom go to whorship. If you were a real Christian you would realize that you cannot be a Chrisitan without being in fellowship with other Christians. BTW - the Christian God is not your very own personal God - are you aware of that?

No. I did not realize that. I think Yahshua is my very own personal God. 😏
