That sort of thing is disallowed in flood and Exodus threads where solid empirical evidence is an absolute requirement.
If you've read the thread, you've no doubt noticed that the thread is primarily discussion rather than debate. While some evidence has been cited, there is understandably less citing than would be expected in a debate thread. Speculation is entirely appropriate here.
It would be perfectly acceptable for you start a debate by challenging one of the posters to put up some evidence on something said here. But you won't bother. You are merely objecting to the fact that others are even having this discussion. I'd enjoy being proven wrong about that.

Due to lack of empirical evidence, the anti-floodists claim that it has been absolutely falsified.
I think that's a mischaracterization of the past discussions. Evidence has been presented that a global flood did not occur. It has not been a simple matter of pointing out that your own claims are unsupported by evidence.

Re: Ice Age Speculation & Conjecture
You are playing silly word games. Empirical evidence is the only kind of evidence.

Byers and bears

umm what then are the boundaries of a kind ?
The Bible lists a few animals as kinds. Other than that and the absolute prohibition against the man kind as including any thing non-man, there are no boundaries.
Presumably that there are few enough kinds to fit on a big boat, but a large enough quantity of kinds to explain the current genetic diversity.
I would not presume that Byers has any special ability to interpret the Bible. What he's good at is denying that evolution happens while some kind of goofy quick adaption (e.g., seal to bear) does happen.
