one that is a major reason that the Flood Scenario has been completely abandoned for so many centuries.
Assume for a second that you are correct when you say
3. Their scenario doesn't seem very likely. What seems more likely is that there was some sudden event which killed all those animals, and there were bison ranging from 2-4 months which had been born that year, bison ranging from 14-16 months which had been born last year, and bison ranging from 26-30 months which had been born two years previously.
and that sudden event was the Biblical Flood.
If that is true, then certain other things also must be true and the evidence for them must be equally apparent.
- there must be other signs of a flood at the same point in time in ALL other locations, all over the world.
- all of the bones found in the 100 or so tar pits at La Brea should be found in one contemporary level, jumbled together in one mass.
- all of the tar pits must have the same age.
- other signs of a massive flood, either considerably younger or considerably older cannot then be a record of the Biblical Flood.
If you use the contents of the La Brea Tar Pits as the dating incident for the Flood, then the Flood happened at that particular era. If we find a record somewhere in the world covering that era that shows no sign of flooding, then the sudden event that you propose as the cause for the Bison at La Brea was not universal in extent.
Unfortunately for Flood supporters, that is exactly what is found. There are many even more clear examples of catastrophic flooding found all over the world. But they are not all contemporary. Instead, what is found are examples of local or regional floods, some of immense proportions, but also not all happening at the same time.
