Well within the possible range of background noise or contamination–20,000 years is about the higest age at which 14C dating seems to work under highly suboptimal conditions with high likelihoods of contamination. And I will note–those are still completely incompatible with 6,000 years.
There are no long-chain DNA molecules left. There are no intact hemoglobin molecules left. There are no intact easily-degraded proteins left. What is left are either breakdown products or the toughest and most protected types of soft tissues, like actin, collagen, and osteocytes.
I don’t believe that.
Not getting deposited.
Which cannot deposit clay or evaporites.
Yes–while it’s not particularly what I specialize in, but it is something that I interact with.
Except for their erosional levels correlating very closely to radiometric dating.
Except that it didn’t; and there are studies suggesting how:
Okay, yes, under certain specific conditions, there can be deposition in laminae. That still doesn’t work for clay on top of sand or shell-hardground.
This is a false equivalence–those don’t have organisms that lived and died in place in them; they don’t show clear seasonal patterns; they don’t show clear sea level cycles; etc.; etc.
That still doesn’t fix the problem of having deposits with no size-sorting at all.
Then why does the description of the Garden of Eden include reference to current rivers and geography of the Middle East?
Well, obviously it was. If it had been made the way is often depicted out of wood with a keel, it would not have been.
That’s still adding to the text–nowhere does it say “globe” and nowhere does it say anything about plate tectonics.
Which I have done repeatedly. It still doesn’t say anything about a globe.
I did not add an explanation, as you are equally capable relative to me of using the search function on this forum and finding the replies from the previous times this point was raised.
The text says “all the land”, not “all the Earth” or “all the Globe”.
A flood that covered all the high hills or mountains (depends on context as to which) in the land under the solid heavens either by 15 cubits with waters that rose by 15 cubits.
I am commanded to tell the truth. Doing so requires calling lies lies. Like claiming that Dark Matter and Dark Energy are fudge factors; or that there aren’t mechanisms for increasing the amount of information in a genome; or that transitional fossils don’t exist; or that repeated cycles in sea level in non-size sorted deposits are compatible with rapid deposition; or that rock layers with cracks in them lack cracks; or that error bars don’t exist; or that mutations are always deleterious; or that speeding up radioactive decay is a viable scientific proposal; or any number of other examples that I could cite off this forum.
True, but חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה אַמָּה מִלְמַעְלָה גָּבְרוּ הַמָּיִם וַיְכֻסּוּ הֶהָרִים׃ וְהַמַּיִם גָּבְרוּ מְאֹד מְאֹד עַל־הָאָרֶץ וַיְכֻסּוּ כָּל־הֶהָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־תַּחַת כָּל־הַשָּׁמָיִם׃ does not clearly refer to mountains rather than hills or to the Earth and not the land.
