Challenge for those that believe in billions of years for the age of things. Give anything that is more than 6000 years old. NO ASSUMPTIONS ALLOWED.

Oops, I should have checked. The documented Chinese civilization is not more that 6000 years old. You raise an interesting question though. If you are right about the date of the flood, then all Chinese people were killed 120 years into their written history, then the population was rebuilt by descendants of Noah moving into the area. How long was the gap when nobody lived there? Is there any reference to that in their records? I would have thought such an event would be noticeable enough to be recorded.
Discontinuity of culture, like population bottlenecks for the time, would have to be universal. Yet neither of those has ever been demonstrated.

Or the persons keeping the calendar were on the ark.

No, each one disproves your theories. And the list is only preliminary.
If I show a theory false with one fact, the theory is false forver.
None of them do. It is a mixture of lies, half truths, and outright idiocy. It is a dishonest way to argue since it takes time and effort to refute a lie. So, as a result refuting one refutes them all.

How do you explain how a population can be extirpated, yet continue to maintain evidence of their culture so that no gap is seen to exist? And this would have to occur for all pre- to post-flood cultures.

You've got your work cut out for an and an audience that largely doesn't accept the random, unsupported claims of some dude on the internet.

Yes, like local populations of animals related to each other that somehow miraculously sorted themselves into different groups as they walked (and swam??) from the Middle East area to places like Australia.

It's probably just an assumption that kangaroos and other marsupials are only found in Oz.

How would they have known what happened in China before the flood? And wouldn't they have perhaps mentioned, when they wrote the Chinese historical documents, that the whole population had been destroyed at one point?
Not to mention learning how to read and write in so many different languages including Chinese in order to continue documenting for each culture so that they appear uninterrupted. And Noah and his posse did all this while taking care of over 10 million species on a boat for at least a year.

Those Chinese were very sneaky. They just ignored the worldwide flood. They kept planting crops and everything. They must have been world champion breath holders.

Everyone died except the 8 on the ark. So the person keeping that calendar was on the ark.
Who said that the Chinese calendar dates people being China.

It was just kinds not species. Kind may be analogous to genus.
