See Genesis 10.

Also https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-siblings-look-alike-and-some-don't

My granddaughter, age 4, doesn't look at all like her mother, but is a dead ringer for her paternal grandmother.

Which of those addresses:

Let's see your population genetics model that can account for this.

I am especially curious to see how you will account for, for example, the alleles associated just with ABO blood groups.

Genesis 10 is a mere handful of fake people begot or begat or whatever after the mythical flood. Says literally nothing about the generation of non-identical features.


Siblings not looking alike today does not address how middle eastern folks popped out Africans and Asians and Inuit and Nordic folk.

Please try without relying on uncorroborated and anti-scientific tall tales and myths please.

I said "arithmetic."

In fact, I used that word over "mathematics" because I [correctly] surmised someone would bring up calculus and/or algebra.

I wanted to keep my sarcasm confined to just adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

I was also expecting someone to mention the invention of calculators.

Anything but addressing my point ... albeit sarcastic ... as I wrote it.

But I did address your poorly formed and nonexistent point. You tried to change the subject because you knew that I was correct, not a very Christian way to act.

The Septuagint pushes the date back some... 600 years before the pyramids.
I have my doubts about this claim. Where did the Old Testament come from in Ussher's day? And as has been pointed out, the pyramids were not the beginning of the Egyptians.

The Egyptians didn’t just arise out of nowhere. They came from hundreds and hundreds of years of developement before we even get to the pyramids.
600 years is quite a while.

The Tower of Babel was about 200 years before the pyramids; plenty of time for the Egyptians to get settled.

There are many candidates in the geological record for a catastrophic flood event that would have affected much of what is now known as the Middle East, ranging from 12,000 - 4,000 years ago.
I think they're called "local floods;" and it distinguishes them from The Flood.

Right, real floods verses a make believe one.
As God promised, none of those "real ones" will be a global one.

Then He turned the sun to its current color so as to set His bow in the clouds.

But not for that sort of population growth. And you never supported your Septuagint claim.
Google “When was the first pyramid built?” and then Google “When was the Flood according to the Septuagint?”

But in his mind, he's googling a myth.

So it wouldn't matter what it said.

Even if everything fit like a hand in a glove, it won't faze them.

That's why they're called "unbelievers."
