If they were built shortly after the flood, who would have done the building? There are over a hundred pyramids throughout Egypt, each requiring thousands of man-years to complete. Even if Noah and family reproduced like bunnies, and they all moved to Egypt and worked only on building pyramids, they couldn't have gotten the job done within certainly a very many centuries.
And to further complicate things, how could they be in Egypt when they were all here, building large stone circles? In fact, Stonehenge was built in three stages, one pre-flood, one during the flood and one after.
It's a mystery, indeed.

Flood and time immunity
Coyote writes:
Further, the earliest construction at Stonehenge was prior to the flood and shows no flood damage.
Our oldest known house/fixed residence was found last year. As befits things on a magical island, it predates creation by 3,000 years, and the flood by 5,000. There's no flood damage, either.
Magical flood immune house
{ABE}I've just realised that this house would have pre-dated a real flood. The time given for the melting back of the ice caps to approximately where they are now is usually given as 8 to 9,000 years ago, so the dating of this house (easy - the residents left lots of nutshells) at 9,600 years means it was on high ground at a time when Britain was still very much joined to the mainland. The residents could have walked in a straight line to what's now Holland or Denmark.
There would have been many sudden floods as sea levels rose, like when the English Channel first formed, perhaps, and what about the breaching of the straits of Gibraltar and the Bosporus?

Reason?!
Look, God created Adam and Eve from dirt. I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created other people after the flood.
That would be cheating. And since when does "reason" come into it, anyway?
Just like every history book, the bible couldn't have recorded EVERY event and EVERY person.
True. Unless the author was omniscient.

Great words
For anyone who enjoys words, there are things that the world can thank the creationist movement for, and this is one of them.
It's real!
Poetry!

I wasn't referring to the knowledge of the author. I was referring to the technical part of it. Just how would you suggest cramming everything about everything about every person that has ever lived in the entire span of human history into a book or series of books in a practical sense?
You have a point. I guess you'd have to be omnipotent.

Catastrophology
AnswersInGenitals writes:
First of all, this side of the world is just as old as your side (unless you know something that most geologist don't or haven't had the heart to tell us).
True. But there's more than one usage of the word "world" in the English language, isn't there?

Secondly, please reread the all the posts in this thread up to this point (and perhaps other threads on this topic). You will notice that mine is the least ludicrous and illogical.
Questionable. But I didn't say that the rest of us weren't talking bollocks, nor that your post was the most ludicrous. This is a thread on Catastrophology, after all, so catastrophic arguments can be expected.
I was replying to someone who actually appeared to be unsure whether your post was serious or not, which highlights the problem of parodying Catastrophologists and the kind of things they say.
For example, I once saw a post from a YEC on another board which began:
quote:
The earth is young, it began after the last ice age....
It's hard to outdo the the genuine fundy in the "talking bollocks" department when he or she is on top form.
