How true is the Old Testament?

I just have a hard time fully believing in the story of Noah having to get 2 of every animal and God flooding the Earth.  So did Noah just gather the animals around him, and how did he capture birds back then? Also after the flood likes like the Earth would reek of death from God drowning out his creations other then Noah.  I have hard time believing into the Old Testament since the New Testament is much more believable to me.  Is this because of the writing styles of each author?
