Long time listener - first time caller.
You're making claims, Historically, Scientifically, and Scripturally that have no basis other than your claims. You're taking a mythological story from the Bible, making claims about the inhabitants of a magic boat and their descendants, and telling people that it is a fact. There is no evidence, anywhere on Earth, to support what you proposing. There is no evidence of an ark, of the people who were on it, of a sudden animal resurgence in Turkey, or anything else in the fossil record to support such a hypothesis.
Dear jonathan, Welcome to the board. Human civilization on this Planet began in Northern Mesopotamia some 10k years ago when the first Human farmers began to grow crops, in the Cradle of Human civilization, which is just down the mountain from Lake Van, Turkey, in the mountains of Ararat. Below is a map of the Area and shows the position of Lake Van, which is 75 miles wide and some 1500 ft deep, a perfect place to safely dock a 450 foot long covered Barge. Lake Van is between the center of the Fertile Crescent and Mt. Ararat and is 5k feet in elevation.

You have created theories about the gaps in your mythologies as an attempt to try and reconcile science with what is essentially a fundamentalist reading of the Bible.
What Gaps? What I seek is God's Truth which agrees, Scripturally, Scientifically, and Historically, and I've found it. So far, it's been 18 years and
NO Evol has been able to refute me in any discipline, but they try over and over daily. This includes people with Masters degrees, Physics degrees, and even some college professors. Can
YOU show me my error?
Since you are the one making the claim, the burden of proof is on you to show us why your model of existence is different than the one that has evidence to support it. If you can do so, and cite something other than scripture as your source, then you will be taken more seriously.
No It won't. I know because I've been doing this for years. My intention, back in the 90s, was to tell Evols that the Bible agreed with Science and History
IF you read it for what is actually says
INSTEAD of through the eyes of ancient men. The traditional religious teaching does
NOT agree with Scripture, Science nor History.
I view this as God's intent since it insures that
ONLY by Faith can Humans come to know God. There are so many differing stories of the Creation that
NONE of them can be believed or taught in our Schools....
BUT... there is but
ONE Truth and Genesis chapter one is the key. That's all I do. I search for the
AGREEMENT of Scripture Science and History. Why do you object? Can you refute me? God Bless you.
In Love,
Aman
