Creationists believe that the flood happened around 4500 years ago, or around 2500 BC. However, there seems to be a problem. The Egyptians were building pyramids before when the flood supposedly happened, during the flood, and immediately after the flood, when supposedly everyone was dead except for Noah and his family. The Egyptians were building pyramids from 2700 BC until around 50 BC, however, the main era for building pyramids was from 2700 BC until 2350 BC. Wouldn't all of the pyramids older than 2500 BC have been destroyed in an event so devestating as a global flood? How could the pyramids built right after 2500 BC have been built, when everyone was supposed to be dead except for Noah and his family? Why don't the egyptians mention any global flood in their myths and stories?

Ummmm.... creationists believe that the earth is six thousand years old. They believe that the flood happened somewhere between 2500 BC - 2300 BC.
Well, that's what Answers in Genesis claims anyway.

Well? The creationists don't have a reply? This is very strong evidence that there was not a global flood.

Creationists, this problem will not go away even if you choose to ignore it!
It seems to me like the only thing creationists can say was that the Egyptians were big liars about when they built their pyramids and when different pharaohs ruled.

Of course they were lying. Everyone knows that the chinese and the egyptians were big liars and nothing they said should be trusted. *rolls eyes*
