Accuracy and Inerrancy? Geneology and the Flood? This topic doesn't seem to be a perfect fit for either, but my preference is for the Accuracy forum.
I wish to disprove the idea that the world's complicated systems of language poofed into existence merely because the Sumerians had a big idea.
Since cultures pass their skills on to succeeding generations (which results in refinement of the craft), I'm wondering how biblicists (i.e., fundaliteralist Christians, and, yes, they think alike enough to have indoctrinated me cult-style for 15 odd years*) would explain how highly advanced early cultures, such as the early Peruvians at Caral, would not have known the skills of brick-making and pottery. How could it have antedated the Caralians by as much 7,000 years (Japanese pottery goes back that far) and the Caralians, for example, have no clue about it?
If we derived from one civilization who already had this skill so refined that they were in danger of accomplishing the most staggering architechral feat known to man (The Tower of Babel), how could other cultures who followed them not be aware of the benefits of such technology?
