Any comment W_Fortenberry?

Hi, Chinger, Welcome aboard! This implication hadn't occurred to me before. Do you have an estimate for how much it would change the traditional YEC estimates of the dates for creation and the great flood? It would make the dates more recent, but the question is by how much. If the date of the great flood becomes sufficiently recent to have occurred during periods for which we have ancient writings, then the lack of any mention of the flood would be yet more evidence against it. As if more were needed.--Percy{Note from Adminnemooseus - I refer all, also to the topic "Biblical Ages".

Hi DB!Oh, I noticed alright! Thanks for going through the math. Going with the 2450 BC date of Creation creates insurmountable problems since it places the flood in the middle of historical periods of civilizations for which we have numerous records and which didn't seem to notice that they'd been wiped out.I didn't follow the closing portion where you presented a different scenario with a creation date around 4000 BC because I didn't know where that date came from.--Percy
