I don’t know about that... we went from a quill to the Internet and an oxcart to a space shuttle in 200 years.

I think they're called "local floods;" and it distinguishes them from The Flood.
Why build an ark then?I find it much more reasonable to interpret the flood narrative in Genesis as a large local flood than to believe that the entire geologic history of earth is a lie. But you go with whatever makes you feel better.
Why build an ark then?
Why not just vacate the area?
Did they have 120 years of advanced warning?Ask that to everyone who died from these floods (which would have been much smaller): List of deadliest floods - Wikipedia
Egyptian history goes past even your supposed and so far unsupported Septuagint date. Though there were various tribes there before this the first king of a United Egypt is 3100 BCE.No, and I didn't say they were.
Weren’t we previously discussing required time for re-establishment after the flood? But, of course, people were there before, and they would have been victims of it. They weren’t tipped off about it, and wouldn’t have had much time to write about it when it was happening.Egyptian history goes past even your supposed and so far unsupported Septuagint date.
As I said, any various tribes before would have been flood victims, and 3100 BC is 200 years after the Septuagint's Flood date.Though there were various tribes there before this the first king of a United Egypt is 3100 BCE.

I don't know if you know this already, but Mizraim, Noah's grandson, was the father of the Egyptians.As I said, any various tribes before would have been flood victims, and 3100 BC is 200 years after the Septuagint's Flood date.
So where are these Nephilim today, and what happened to all those people who had flesh corruption?From a guy they all thought was nuts and didn't bother listening to? Not sure that that would have helped.
As I said, any various tribes before would have been flood victims, and 3100 BC is 200 years after the Septuagint's Flood date.
10 million!?10 million people from a group of 8 survivors in 200 years?
10 million!?
Is that all?
Let's take two earths: Earth 1 and Earth 2.
The Flood occurs on both Earths.
After the Flood, Earth 1 is on its own -- Mother Nature is in control.
Earth 2 has God handling the aftermath.
Now it's AD 2019.
How do the two Earths look?
I submit Earth 1 is a dead, rotted-out planet, whose inhabitants never recovered from its population bottleneck.
While Earth 2 looks like it does now.
What say you?
Tell me, how difficult is it to find a match for a kidney transplant?Weren’t we previously discussing required time for re-establishment after the flood?

It is the other way around. The Bible can't get the year of Jesus's birth correct. Don't blame others for errors that are not theirs.Secular history can't get the year of Jesus' birth right.
So where are these Nephilim today, and what happened to all those people who had flesh corruption?
If all flesh had corrupted itself on the earth except for Noah's line, you'd think there would be a LOT more cooties in our system today, wouldn't you?
Did God miraculously heal these hybrid sons-of-god/daughters-of-men so they could continue on?
I have.Think about what you're saying.
No, the flood happened in 3298 BC and the Old Kingdom began in 2700 BC. That's 600 years. Wouldn't the smaller groups of people during that era (including the 3100 BC reference) have had time to grow and develop (time for art, architecture, and religion to take shape)? I don't know where you're getting the 'millions of citizens' fiqure.Noah's Flood happens, and in 200 years, Egypt has developed in a full kingdom, developed a language, culture, religion all its own, has millions of citizens, and all from, what, eight people?
That's what the Bible tells us, and as AV points out, we have to remember the flood involved Divine intervention. And, the pre-flood civilization you're referring to may not have been quite so advanced as you are suggesting.What you’re suggesting, whether you realize it or not, is that there was a thriving, growing civilization of people, who all the sudden died out, and then, soon after that, a new, completely different group of people settled in the same areadopted the dead civilizations language and culture, then when about so seamlessly that no one studying them years later would be able to figure out they were unrelated to the groups living there before them.
I have.

Okay, I'll admit it:But at least admit the evidence isn’t on your side.
