Re: What does the bible say? What does IamJoseph make up?
The Noah story ends with the Abraham, which serves as a background to what the OT is narrating, which I have not seen else such a level of historical writ. Here is the first introduction of the Chaldees, Abraham,Sarah and the city of Ur, now in Iraq:
Except for the fact that at the time of Abraham, the Chaldees (Chaldeans) did not own Ur. Depending on exactly when Abraham existed, Ur was a Babylonian, Akkadian or Sumerian City. The Chaldeans didn't occupy Ur until less than 100 years before the so called carrying off to Babylon. - Visual History of the World, National Gerographic.

well the sediments are not consistent in the case of the Omo valley and Lake Rudolph. Even though the fragments Richard Leakey found were dated to 2.5 million years old, the skull was the same shape as modern man. He said that other bone fragments that were found such as the leg specimens were indistinguishable from the same bones of modern men.
but they were still dated to be 2.5 million years old.
Could you give me the reference to the above?

Because it is a fact that the oceans were much lower then they are know as is seen by the river channels that go deep into the ocean.
there are huge land ridges that connect the continents which were at one time above the ocean and are now beneath it
This occurs whenever there is an ice age. Where do you think the water that forms the massive glaciers comes from?
there are fossil remains of many different animals, such as lions, tigers, bears, and elk, together in common strata, which may indicate that all of these were destroyed simultaneously.
Catastrophe, possibly still no evidence for a global flood.
There are whole frozen mammoths coming out of the ice right now with undigested food in their stomachs which shows they died suddenly which points to a sudden catastrophic event
Catastrophe yes but still not evidence of a global flood. How about freezing to death at the beginning of an ice age?

It doesnt mean that its not flooded though. Same goes for the earth. Just because we were not around when the oceans were lower, does not mean that the earth is not flooded now. When the evidence is that the oceans were at one time much lower, then the only logical conclusion is that it must now be flooded.
The oceans have been lower and higher many times. Each ice age lowered the oceans and each warm age raised them.
Recently we had 1/3 of the state of Queensland covered by water
Which shows only that there is such things as localized flooding. Flooding is very common in many areas of this planet.

So how can a 1.75 million year old fossil resemble modern man?
The same way a 400,000,000 year old fossil dragonfly resembles a modern dragonfly. There are many current living things that resemble earlier species. That also goes for similar modern species ie: jaguars & leopards.

If they didnt like the cold, why not migrate to warmer climates?
Do you realize how long that would take with the ice appoaching at a faster rate than the mammoths could flee.

Re: Genetics and Pigs
What do you mean by type? Species, sub-species? Type is not a biological classification.
