There is trouble with Egyptian dating. I think that those in favor of correcting the chronology are winning the scientific debate. Egyptian history is much shorter than previously thought.

At any rate, the Genesis Flood was 4300 years ago. And you are correct that nothing survived the flood.

Yeah. The fact that records kept by the ancient Chinese - before & after said 'Flood' being the least of your problems.

It's the records during said flood that make sure the credibility of your 'YEC' bullshit won't survive.

Just Kitzmiller vs. Dover alone ensures BuyBull Cre(a)ti(o)nism is dead. After all: Is the Bible admissible as evidence in a court of law...?!

The Genesis Flood is a myth. There are many ancient cultures that have records of just keeping on living undisturbed throughout that supposed period of completely drenched Earth. Either it was never meant to be taken literally (most probable; people have always told each other stories to teach important lessons), or they just meant that THEIR world was flooded, everything THEY knew of was under water. Most people at that time lived along rivers, so floodings were part of everyday life, and some floodings were larger than others. After the worst ones, it probably felt like everyone had died, all animals were gone, everything was destroyed, and they had to pack whatever they had managed to save in a boat and go somewhere else.

If anything, they are finding out MORE AND MORE about Egyptian history, it’s getting more and more detailed, and probably stretched longer into the past than previously known. At any rate, there is NO scientific debate about the Genesis Flood.

4300 years age would be right smack dab in the middle of the Egyptian Old Kingdom.

Date like an Egyptian.

Young Earth creationism contradicts reality so reality must be wrong.

Yes and no. Do you mean what the Egyptians wrote themselves or what generations of egyptologists have proven?

True, in their inscriptions the pharaos were compulsive liars, but that’s why modern scholars don’t take it all as written. You should do the same with your Bible.

So you're a YECer? Earth is just 6,000 years old, and all that jazz? Newsflash:

The date palm is one of the oldest crops cultivated by man – archaeologists have found evidence of its production 8,000 years ago in Neolithic sites in Syria and Egypt

So I guess that in Soviet Egypt, Dates have trouble with you.

And in more ways than one, I suspect: not only leave a nasty taste in your mouth, they'd probably give you a bad case of 'Akhenaten's Revenge': they're high in fibre like Prunes.

I'll leave you - as you run to the bog to purge yourself of your FAIL... er, I mean 'Faith' that just the above fact makes you simultaneously projectile vomit & give you explosive diarrhoea - with this thought: In an episode of his survival series, Bear Grylls was sheltering in a cave in the Sierra Nevada. Using a piece of charcoal from the fire he'd made to draw on the cave's surface, he explained that Cave Painting is the oldest form of artistic expression by Homo Sapiens: the oldest examples analysed & dated to 40,000 years old.

Not only is he Chief Scout, but previously a reservist in the SAS, he is a Christian. He was born in Northern Ireland. The DUP there would disagree with you, OP. Why?

They say that the Earth is just 4,000 years old.

Bear Grylls would laugh - because he can reconcile his Christian faith with proven scientific fact - as he gladly received the popcorn I offered him: while we watched the Fundie Fight.
