In some cases, that belief may be based on a misunderstanding of the text, but the belief is still real. For example, there are two different stories of the creation, yet many Christians, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported, and then believe this reinterpretation of the passages.
Christians believe in the Genesis account of Noah's Flood, although there are actually two, somewhat different accounts conflated. They believe in the stories of the Tower of Babel and of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is considered an article of faith that Christians should believe the accounts to be found in the Book of Genesis.

What would the view of a liberal Christian be on Noah's ark?
Many "liberal" Christians hold to the account of Noah's ark and the great flood in the book of Genesis as an old Hebrew folk-tale and a myth, rather than it being a historically accurate part of history. It is offen thought that the flood account is possibly an exaggerated story that was altered and was added to over time from the events of a real, relatively local, catastrophic flood. So rather than seeing Noah's Ark as a real event of history it is often then allegorized and treated more as a parable from which lessons on morality, faith and courage, along with other qualities that relate to living a Christian life can be drawn out. Noah's Ark and the flood described in Genesis are approached very differently by even those who are labelled as "liberal" Christians. The view above is just one of those views.
Where does Genesis say animals were created before man?
It simply does not give this chronology or sequence of events. It has to read into the Scripture.Some people have come to believe that the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 contradict each other. These people believe there is more than one creation account and point to Genesis 1 describing animals being created before Adam, while Genesis 2:19 'could be read' as if Adam had been created before the animals. But the Bible never contradicts itself, because it was inspired by God. Genesis 2:19 doesn't mean that God created Adam first and then the animals. The correct chronological (day-to-day) sequence of events is stated in chapter 1 but not in chapter 2. The content of chapter 2 is a complement and supplement to chapter 1. God means for us to combine the content of the two chapters to get a more complete picture of what happened and why.
