I agree that you are making up your point, lets look at the skinny

The change in life expectancy of mature men has not changed as dramatically over 3000 years as might be expected, although this data must of necessity refer to privileged members of society.

---

That's not the life expectancy of men, but the life expectancy of a person who managed to live to age 15.

quote:

---

Date Life expectancy of women at 15 years (years) 1480–1679 48.2

---

So not only is the women's life expectacy lower (also only reaches back 600 years), but the child mortality rates would have been monsterous. Hell, even 100 years infant mortality rates were 10% and there are projections that show Ancient Egyptian infant mortality rates from that time period could have approached 50%

The sun didn't remain a T Tauri for very long, less than 100 million and probably closer to 10 million years. By the time it was progressed to the current phase, the Earth still would have not been fully formed. Plants don't even show up with the trees/grasses stated in Genesis until >3 Billion years after the finish of the planet anyway. So the order of Genesis is still wrong.

That is a list of criteria for plants, re-read the bolded part.

which is:

and synthesizing nutrients in its leaves by photosynthesis using the green pigment chlorophyll.

And that does not require the light to be from the SUN.

That's been settled science for a LONG long time.

That's a hell of a gap! FT posted a guy "disproving" the OP who didn't like gaps.

Let's approach this differently...

Please post and link to your proof of this.

It wasn't rain water, at all.

Doesn't matter. Most all marine life would have still died regardless. Try and manage a salt water aquarium and see how small swings in anything (ignore salt content), from ammonia to temperature will kill the fish.

Unless the water that came up from the earths crust was an exact copy of the water that was already present in the oceans (which I'm sure you'll argue just so you can keep on believing what a backwards bronze age tribe wrote thousands of years ago simply because you were born in a certain region of the world to Christian parents).

Also, brush up on how geysers work and you'll realize that you cannot have structures in place within the Earth to have that occur world wide to such an effect that you're raising the sea levels by hundreds (realistically thousands of feet but you'll again argue against that saying that "mountains back then were a lot shorter so we need less water").

Prior to the sun, what light would the earth have had?

God obviously had fluorescent grow lights, bro.

Him being stoned af actually does explain why his creation is so goddamn weird and fricked up.

predates your 6,000 year window

---

The 6,000 year window has nothing to do with when. The event was documented in a book that is older than 6,000 years.

Some guy, obviously bored, counted names in the Bible to get that 6,000 years. In fact, the Bible claims the opposite. The 6 days of creation cannot be 24 hour days, because the sun, which determines that time period, wasn't created until the 4th day. So a creation day is not remotely a 24 hour day. The Bible also clearly defines "a day"

quote:

---

2 Peter 3:8–9: But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

---

So without knowing the span of creative time, 7 days could be 7,000 years, and at least 6,000 years of recorded history, means 13,000+ years in archaeological possibilities

Agriculture developed in three distinct places

um, no.

quote:

The Neolithic Revolution, also called the Agricultural Revolution, marked the transition in human history from small nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers to larger, agricultural settlements and early civilization. The Neolithic Revolution started around 10,000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East where humans first took up farming. Shortly after, Stone Age humans in other parts of the world also began to practice agriculture. Civilizations and cities grew out of the innovations of the Neolithic Revolution.

A 'family tree' of languages adds weight to the theory that a large group of languages, including English, originated from the region that is now Turkey. Using techniques for tracing virus outbreaks to map the evolution of languages, the study published in Science suggests Indo-European languages emerged 4,000 years earlier from Anatolia.

Atkinson says the research provides insight into the development of our culture and adds weight to the theory that agriculture has been crucial in shaping the world's language and cultural diversity.

To compare the two theories, the researchers turned to a method used to trace virus outbreaks to find where the languages come from. "With a virus outbreak, you collect samples from around the world, extract DNA and work out how all the strains are related," says Atkinson. "We can do the same thing with language."

Just like species or viruses, languages evolve via descent and modification - so when a population splits into two, the language will begin to diverge as it's passed down and eventually change altogether. But, just like species, they retain common elements known as 'cognates', which are like the DNA of language, he explains. "Cognates are words that linguists can identify as being related due to common ancestry."

The researchers looked at cognates across 103 languages to construct the Indo-European family tree, then used their knowledge of where modern languages are spoken and the distribution of ancient languages to map the branches by space and time.

---

Studies are all beginning to converge on the reality that farming started in the fertile crescent and extended out from there. With it language, religion, and cultural diversity also branched off.

The 6,000+ year old Bible recorded the events leading up to that origin story. Hard to attribute that to just merely coincidence. It would be quite a bummer to die one day, only for science to later confirm that all DNA comes from a single family with Turkish origins (aka Noah). You cant base your beliefs on the ever changing theories of grant-funded scientists

Here's the thing, We have already traced the lineage of man and it doesn't have a bottle neck 4500 years ago or in the time period of the neolithic revolution.

quote:

The study you link only discusses Indo-European languages. Even the Old Testament was written in a Semitic language,

---

uh, the single source language would have been Semitic. The others would have diverged from there as humans migrated

Again, the Bible is written after these facts. So we don't know when the flood occurred, only that it was documented 6,000 years ago at first writing

Many cultures contain a flood, salvation story. Which also piggybacks off the studies that point to a probable Turkish origin, with people, places, events being shaped by a new culture as they migrated
