1. I agree with Peg that your #1 is totally false and not Biblical.
It's a perfectly reasonable interpretation of the text.

2. That depends on whether micro changes happened to the physiology of animals after radical climate change altered their habitat. Teeth that were designed to tear flesh would have been also necessary to deal with fibrous vegetation etc.
It's not just teeth (and I'm pretty sure that you're wrong even there). There's the whole matter of digestion as well as the instinct and capabilities needed to catch food.
Those "micro" changes are looking pretty macro from here.

3. Our problem with the first woman is no more significant than your problem with how the genders evolved so as to begin to reproduce male and female.
THAT is definitely untrue.

4. So what happened to a whole species of reptilian animals rather suddenly? Perhaps their physiology was somehow changed so that all reptiles became short legged. If an ice age allegedly killed them all it should have wiped out about everything else as well.
This doesn't even make sense. Sorry, you don't get to put forward some crazy strawman as the only alternative to your view.

5. How do you know that humans way back when didn't live longer? It's speculation on your part just as you would claim that it's speculation on our part to belive they did live longer lives. After all, some of the animals evidently were larger etc, indicative that the habitat may have been changed at some time.
Because they are human, and humans don't live that long. Not in any of the many environments that humans live in.

6. We have had 7 ft plus men. How do you know there weren't giants? There were likely few of them so little evidence would have been preserved.
Because there aren't any now, there are no reliable records or any archaeological sign of them.
