What does it mean then? The Bible gives dates. There weren't any rulers back then, so the year wasn't given as the ___ year of so-and-so. It was given in comparison to the ages of the men from Noah down to the time of kings in various lands. Synchronisms in chronologies that are fixed by history or astronomy allows the year to be fixed.
It's not a made-up story. There are proofs of everything. I can't write a huge book in this little box. You'd ignore it anyway and write TLDR, which is one of the biggest non answers. There is so much people choose to ignore so they can think that they are their own ultimate authority.
And what are those exact dates of the flood again?
3170 BC is the year. The date is the 17 day of the 2nd month, Jewish calendar.
The dates are in Genesis, in case you've never bothered to read it.
The year has been carefully calculated based on the timeline in the Bible compared with reigns of rulers in various countries confirmed by astronomy.
That's not what "hard date" means. Why make up stories? This doesn't benefit Christians. It only makes you look foolish.

Actually, do what I did and go look it up in your Bible. I was wrong.
