So the idea that all of humanity, which is nearly 8 billion people, started all from just two people isn't poetic?

No.

And the bottleneck event, known as the Flood, reduced the population down to just eight people.

So nearly 8 billion people [re]started from 8 people 4,371 years ago.

Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

What do you think that blessing was in the form of?

Let me give you something to think about, before you answer:

Ex 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Ex 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
Ex 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Ex 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

Again: a poetic story.

And the amazing thing about fragmentation is not that everything fragments the same way, so it's much easier to fill in gaps with similar information.

Honestly, you do yourself a massive disservice by not actually taking the time and effort to learn about the things you're railing against. It's a bad look.
And you’re pretending that when they fill those gaps that the sequence is complete and intact but it’s not.

We would all be half-brothers and half-sisters.

Imagine that.

Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

I'm not pretending anything is anything, so again, please kindly stop putting words in my mouth. Even if it's not a whole, 100% complete picture, it's still enough to show that A) human life did not descend from a single family of 8 individuals, and B) human life did not descend from a single couple.

As long as their is a body to study, there is DNA.
A body with a DNA half-life of 521 years Which means that DNA from 4000 years ago would’ve decayed to almost NOTHING. In just 1000 years 75% is gone.

Considering Acts 17 is about Paul's missionary work AFTER the death of Christ, and there is the talk of the 'Blood of Christ'... yeah, poetry.

You don't get how half-life works either. Hint: IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS. And almost nothing doesn't mean nothing. It means something is still there.

I know exactly what it means, now I know that I’m not talking to an honest person.

Do you know the difference between "poetry" and "poetic"?

That is incredibly ironic coming from you.
The irony is that you claim to believe the Bible yet you don’t believe in the supernatural, that’s irony. Those are two completely polar opposite statements.

Warden is a deist.

That means he believes God created the universe, then stood down and is letting it run itself out on its own.

Yeah that’s basically the same thing I said, you don’t think Christians should believe the Bible. I mean according to what you just said in this post you think that Genesis is based on man made superstitions instead of being revealed to man by God.
Every religion has a Creation story, none of which I believe are superstitions. I just believe in what God's own Creation is showing us is all. I feel that I'd be foolish to deny what God Created.
