Really? I didn't know they could tell by looking at a fossilized bone exactly how old something was when it died. Or maybe you are implying that they could look at a sample of my DNA and genetically tell how old all my great great great grandparents were? Seriously though, I'd like to see the research work that demonstrates this "absolute proof." If you would kindly link us to something?
To mention "fossils" when talking about the Biblical Flood is of course simply silly. The Biblical Flood, if it had happened, was far too recent to have anything to do with fossils.
But even there you are simply wrong. Yes, by looking at fossilized bones you can tell how old the critter was when it died.
But none of those have anything to do with the potential evidential proof of the flood I presented.
The Biblical Flood, if it had happened, would have been a very recent event. And nothing in the example I presented has anything to do with how long any critter lived.
The Biblical Flood myths say that all the critters on land and in the air with the exception of those critters on the fictional ark were killed during a very short period.
If that were true, then every land and air critter living today, plant or animal, would be descended from the few critters on the ark.
That would leave a genetic bottleneck marker in EVERY single living species of plant of animal, and the marker would be only a relatively few generations back.
If the Biblical Flood happened, then that marker MUST be there.
It ain't.
Case closed.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
