The TRVE history of the Flood...

Not quite.One is a collection of old folk tales while the other is a rock-solid field of science.

In my area I have a major cluster of archaeological sites that were occupied before, during, and after the purported flood. I even have mtDNA that spans across the "exact" date we have been given for the flood. And that mtDNA isn't a haplotype from the Near East!Researchers throughout the world have similar findings.The evidence shows that a worldwide flood at about 4350 years ago never happened. Belief in such a flood is contradicted by real-world evidence.

Sure it is!It is very fine evidence. Its too bad you won't allow yourself to accept it, as it is our key to understanding the past.Without dating we are stuck with old folk myths about the past.

Do you mean Velikovsky?From the Wiki page:

Velikovsky's ideas have been almost entirely rejected by mainstream academia (often vociferously so) and his work is generally regarded as erroneous in all its detailed conclusions. Moreover, scholars view his unorthodox methodology (for example, using comparative mythology to derive scenarios in celestial mechanics) as an unacceptable way to arrive at conclusions. Stephen Jay Gould offered a synopsis of the mainstream response to Velikovsky, writing, "Velikovsky is neither crank nor charlatanalthough, to state my opinion and to quote one of my colleagues, he is at least gloriously wrong ... Velikovsky would rebuild the science of celestial mechanics to save the literal accuracy of ancient legends."

You could at least spell his name correctly.

And this has been disproved for over 200 years, and all evidence so far still disproves it.

The dating methods have been "proved" to those who matter.But "proving" those methods to creationists is impossible because creationists will not accept any evidence that disagrees with their religious beliefs.Your request is a sham.

You're not even amusing any longer.

Neither you nor any other creationist has been able to show where radiometric dating is so wrong that a young earth is even close to being feasible.Your claims to the effect that radiometric dating is wrong are based on a-wishin' and a-hopin'.

Six "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't AnswerSix "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't Answer | National Center for Science Education

Pseudoscience differs from science in several fundamental ways but most notably in its attitude toward hypothesis testing. In science, hypotheses are ideas proposed to explain the facts, and they're not considered much good unless they can survive rigorous tests. In pseudoscience, hypotheses are erected as defenses against the facts. Pseudoscientists frequently offer hypotheses flatly contradicted by well-known facts which can be ignored only by well-trained minds. Therefore, to demonstrate that creationists are pseudoscientists, one need only carry some creationist hypotheses about Noah's flood to their logical conclusions. The following six arguments will do just that, giving a sampling of the major difficulties in creationist "flood geology."

What if God Threw a Flood and No One Came?What if God Threw a Flood and No One Came? | Cognitive Discopants

The folks over at Answers in Genesis recently tackled the question, When exactly was the Flood?. After consulting his Bible and with a little help from Bishop James Ussher, David Wright of AiG provides the answer:

​

Using the Bible, well-documented historical events, and some math, we find that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 1656 AM [anno mundi] or 2348 BC.

​

So there you have it. Only 8 people left alive on the planet in 2348 BC.

​

That got me thinking. What other well-documented historical events might have been going on in the 24th century BC? Let’s take a look

​

Mesopotamia

​

It must have come as a real shock to Noah and his children when, in 2334 BC — only 14 years after the flood — Sargon the Great began establishing the powerful Akkadian empire. This task involved defeating in battle a variety of Sumerian city states, some of which had populations in excess of 100,000 inhabitants (e.g. Lagash and Uruk). By the end of his reign (2279 BC), Sargon’s vast empire stretched from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf — basically the entire Fertile Crescent.

​

Such an empire only 69 years after the Flood is a feat indeed. But the real credit has to go to the four women on Noah’s ark. Barefoot and pregnant doesn’t begin to describe the work involved in repopulating the planet at the pace necessary to give Sargon armies to fight and people to rule.

​

Egypt

​

Down in Egypt, the United Kingdom established by Menes circa. 3000 BC was humming along nicely. By the time of Noah’s flood, the Egyptians were just wrapping up their 5th dynasty. Pharaoh Unas was, no doubt, quite perturbed to see his empire underwater, especially since he was in the middle of building a pyramid complex at Saqqara, which you can visit to this day.

​

Undeterred, the now soggy Egyptians moved seamlessly into the 6th dynasty with Pharaoh Teti at the helm. Teti built himself a nice pyramid complex too. Given that Teti came to power only 3 years after the global population was reduced to 8, you might have thought cheap labor for pyramid building would be hard to come by. Nonetheless, even Teti’s high court officials were building themselves massive funerary monuments during his reign.

I'm not geologist, so one of them will have to answer this specific question.But as an archaeologist the evidence is clear--there was no global flood around 4350 years ago. My own research shows that in a couple of ways: continuity of Native American residential sites before and after the given date, and continuity of Native American mtDNA before and after the given date.This same thing, along with a lot of additional evidence, has been noted by archaeologists all over the world.
