So Babylonian, Akkadian, Sumerian etc. myths are out but OT myths are factual?
Yes. But why ask this? Please show us any historically identifiable surrounding stats for a Babylonian king who reigned 28,000 years? If we look at the earliest stats in genesis, disregarding the adam/eve story [because this is textually inclined in a non-physical realm], we find the mention of the first 'king' [Nimrod] in all recorded history, Noah - which contains a thread of names, locations and datings culminating in the african/egyptian nations, Judaism [Abraham], and numerous bedoine races. We have here identifiable historical items such as Hebron, Beth El, cross reference inter-nation evidences such as the Egyptian stelle mentioning Israel and a host of other nations and kings, the Hamurabi documents, mount arafat, etc. Here, the report does not have to be historically vindicated - than that it is historically posited, and vested in a historically identifiable space-time. It is not surrounded by a vaccuum.
To accept a sumerian king who would have riegned 40,000 years ago [because the author declaring this report is a belated factor], or even if we say 30,000 years ago - it also means there were surrounding historical occurences - nothing has been located here - we have only a blank pre-6000; no history per se. I don't see my rejection of the eridu report as hypocritical or unwarranted. How can there be a king when there is no history of this space-time?
Conclusion: Genesis' 6000 point makes the world sweat in 2008. Not a small feat.

Chauvet Cave, 29,000 to 32,000 years ago
Are you going to just handwave this away too?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

The point of this PNT is to ask if the bible, in any of its passages, takes a stand on this controversy.
No. The Bible is not about the structure of matter.
This probably should have ended topic right there.
