It doesn't matter what happened before they became solid rock. Radiometric dating measures the time since the rock solidified. During that time, the rock was not at a high enough temperature to turn it into an ionized gas.
What DNA example?
The weak force is only effective at very short (sub-atomic) range. W and Z bosons are the force carriers, not neutrinos. Neutrinos interact through the weak force.
-_- the DNA of people thousands of years farther in the past than you claim the arrival of the Ark is recognizably DNA belonging to our species. By your claims of interbreeding at about 11 thousand years ago between "true humans" and "prehistoric peoples", DNA prior to and after that key time period should be notably different. Furthermore, DNA of "true humans" should have been discovered by now, and it hasn't.
No, the bible says "things that moveth" come from water. It specifies that, implying that either biblical authors didn't know of animals that don't move, or that the bible is entirely missing where non-moving animals come from.
The explicit reason people were scattered was to actually harm humanity and it's potential for progress: 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
Wrong, our species was already present in Australia over 40 thousand years ago. People had long since spread around by 10-11 thousand years ago.
-_- technology and innovation aren't a part of evolution. People in the 1500s were not "less evolved" than modern people on account of less advanced technology. Furthermore, the start of farming is estimated at 12,000 years ago, which falls 1000 years before Noah's arrival, according to you.
Incorrect. Farming techniques and what is farmed varied significantly by region, and people that lived in North America were isolated from the people in the Fertile Crescent before farming began. Another way genetics counter your claims: the slight variations of human races. If people had been spread around about 10,000 years ago, there would have been significant genetic mixing at this time. Yet, our genes indicate otherwise.
Genesis never names "prehistoric peoples", so your claims about them are empty from a theological perspective. That it names that "moving animals" exist is not specific enough to back your claim.
So you are just going to ignore that not every human on this planet has genes indicating hybridization with other species and that this directly contradicts your claim that the intelligence within all modern humans is the result of such hybridization.
You do not know, for you have no evidence at all by which to back your claim that people that lived more than 11 thousand years ago on this planet weren't the same species as ourselves. Even their genes match up.
In scripture where? In science where? In history where?
-_- there are chimpanzees that write and use sign language. Most of what they like to talk about is food. Studies also have found that they understand the basic concept of currency.
Wrong, according to both science and history, our species has existed for at least 100 thousand years.
Incorrect, Ararat is too far North East of the area where agriculture actually started (if it actually began in the Fertile Cresent and not China). Your map doesn't distinguish the fact that the boundary of the Fertile Cresent expands farther than the area in which agriculture began the earliest. When agriculture started, it was in Syria or China. Ararat is in Eastern Turkey. Furthermore, you don't account for the fact that farm animals were raised before agriculture took place in the Fertile Cresent, in 13000 BCE.

-_- if necessary, we'll make a separate thread to continue our discussion, since it is perfectly relevant to a creation vs evolution debate subforum.
