I was wondering if some of the Creationist could help me with this.
If all of human kind was destroyed during the flood except for Noah and his family. If we are all descendants of Noah, how is it:
1. Aborigines in Australia that migrated there approximately 40,000 years ago and never knew about Noah? They had a completely different belief system.
2. Native American Indians had many different belief systems from tribe to tribe none of which mentions Noah.
3. Papua New Guinea had many native people that only knew the next closest tribe or tribes. Then in 1938 a tribe of about 50,000 was found deep in the forest and never even knew other people existed. So not only did they not know other people lived a few miles from them, they did not know they were descendants of Noah.
How can this be possible? From my understanding the Flood was only a few thousand years ago. If I remember correctly the flood happened between 4000 to 5000 years ago (going of memory). Surely not enough time for that many people to forget their ancestry. Maybe I am a little confused, so please enlighten me.
