No genetic bottleneck proves no global flood

In addition to the lack of a genetic bottleneck, we have the opposite--continuity of many haplogroups across the time period when the flood is claimed to have occurred (ca. 4,350 years ago).By this I mean we have in most areas of the world continuity of haplogroups that existed prior to 4,350 years ago to dates after 4,350 years ago.One example (of many): A skeleton from a cave in southern Alaska was dated to 10,300 years ago. That skeleton had haplotype D4h3. That same haplotype was found in a number of living individuals, showing that there was no depopulation during the past 10,300 years.The presence of many of these examples of continuity is evidence that there was no global flood with the time periods covered.

Welcome!If you are proposing a bottleneck at 4,300 years ago, give or take a few, then you have to explain the massive evidence for continuity, rather than a bottleneck, at that time period.In analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), there are a lot of examples where skeletal DNA from prior to 4,300 years ago matches the mtDNA of living individuals in the same area.One such example is from On Your Knees Cave in southern Alaska. There, a skeleton dated to 10,300 years ago has the exact same rare mtDNA haplotype (D4h3) as 46 or more living individuals found along the coasts of both north and south America. And interestingly, that same rare haplotype has been found in a Clovis skeleton dating to about 12,600 years ago in Wyoming.My own archaeological research has produced a similar match from 5,300 years ago to living individuals in the western US.If there had been a global flood about 4,300 years ago, those mtDNA types would have been eliminated in living individuals, to be replaced by the haplotypes of Noah's female companions.That this is not what we see, this is solid evidence that there was no global flood in the time period you claim.I would be interested in your reaction to these facts.
