No, not at all! ‘Colder than
today’s arctic’? Where did you get
that?!
If that were true, then there would currently be “vast herds”of grazing animals there, now!
I was wondering when someone was going to bring up the age discrepancies, not only between the animals
themselves, but between the Ice Age timeline and the Bible’s.
Simply put, the global Flood changed the make-up of the atmosphere. Prior to the Flood, the waters ‘above the Earth’ provided a greenhouse effect for the Earth, that helped produce the huge amounts of vegetation needed for supporting those discovered vast herds of mega grazers.
There was more carbon dioxide in, and less cosmic rays bombarding, the lower atmosphere, which would by default result in many inaccurate readings of 14C.
And these inaccuracies have been documented.
A partial study:
Inaccuracies in radiocarbon dating
Here’s some further info:
Radiocarbon dating - Wikipedia
“...when a radiocarbon date agrees with the expectations of the excavator it appears in the main text of the site report; if it is slightly discrepant it is relegated to a footnote; if it seriously conflicts it is left out altogether." (Peter James, et al. (I. J. Thorpe, Nikos Kokkinos, Robert Morkot and John Frankish), Preface to
Centuries of Darkness, 1991)
(Biased much?)
And, of course, mainstream scientists are anathema to propose
any dating results agree with the Bible’s timeline!
You and I, we’re both using a stacked deck, which favors your POV and opposes mine.
I know what you’ll say...that that proves your interpretation fits the facts, more than mine.
But if that were true, there’d be consensus among scientists. But there isn’t. And the facts as the Bible presents them, is just ignored.
Based partly on crazy,
faulty assumptions, like “water had to cover the world to the height of
Mt. Everest!”
I wouldn’t believe the Flood happened, either, if I thought that was the case!
