It's possible the original Australians were using watercraft at least 120,000 years ago!!!

It's possible the original Australians were using watercraft at least 120,000 years ago!!!It's older than than.
Our ancestors have been deliberately creating cave art for at least 60,000 years.
We've been wearing animal skins for at least 400,000 years (and likely as far back as 750,000 years), making jewelry for at least 140,000 years and burying our dead for at least 125,000 years. Even complex activities, like making flutes and pipes, dates back at least 60,000 years.
The Encyclopedia Britannica disagrees:The consensus is Thutmose II reigned from 1493-1479 BC.
SOURCEThutmose II, (flourished 2nd millennium bce), 18th-dynasty king (reigned c. 1482–79 bce)
Like Shem, Ham, and Japheth?So disgraceful to not acknowledge that ancestors even existed.
And once again you are missing the point.
Then I'm done with this pharaoh junk.And once again you are missing the point.
... can take a hike.Houston we have a problem.
If this is the accepted date according to some dude in the 17th century then the pharaoh concerned is no other than Thutmose II.
Unfortunately for you we have the body and it appears that poor Thutmose didn't die by drowning in the Red sea but possibly of some infectious disease.
How does History (recorded) contradict YEC - I don't understand the contradiction you say exists. And again - what is the massive problem you are saying exists? (I'm asking respectfully)
If you really want to use pharaoh time to harp on something in the Bible, harp on how the pharaohs didn't even exist until well after the Flood, since the Egyptians came from Mizraim, who was Noah's grandson.The part where the scribes forgot to etch into the history this line:
In the third year of his reign, the whole of Egypt, even the desert and mountains was covered with water and all of the beasts and all of the people died.
In the forth year of his reign, the harvest was bountiful and the pharaoh lead his army to victory over the Nubians and they sent much gold and precious gems as tribute.
Your post has no substance but plenty of angst.Then I'm done with this pharaoh junk.
You're post 486, where you showed a picture of Thutmose II and said:
... can take a hike.
I'll try to explain.Good response.
How does History (recorded) contradict YEC - I don't understand the contradiction you say exists. And again - what is the massive problem you are saying exists? (I'm asking respectfully)
I agree the scientific evidence does not support the Earth being created 6000 years ago....but History (recorded) does - that's the primary point I was making and that is stunning to me.
Where do you get "In the third year of his reign, the whole of Egypt, even the desert and mountains was covered with water and all of the beasts and all of the people died"?The part where the scribes forgot to etch into the history this line:
In the third year of his reign, the whole of Egypt, even the desert and mountains was covered with water and all of the beasts and all of the people died.
In the forth year of his reign, the harvest was bountiful and the pharaoh lead his army to victory over the Nubians and they sent much gold and precious gems as tribute.
Where do you get that language variety doesn't exists before the Tower of Babel? The Bible doesn't say that.I'll try to explain.
The common YEC narrative has something very similar to this timeline:
~4000 BC : Creation of world
~2500 BC : Entire world is destroyed by the Flood
~2000 BC : Tower of Babel causes the creation of diverse languages
This is directly contradicted by ancient Mesopotamian civilisations having recognisable writing from 4000 BC. It both shouldn't exist because language variety doesn't exist until the Tower and all evidence should have been destroyed by the Flood.
The other issue with history supporting the YEC narrative is that while it certainly has things in common with the Bible, the most ancient records show a different religion and history to the Biblical one.
Neanderthals, long perceived to have been unsophisticated and brutish, really did paint stalagmites in a Spanish cave more than 60,000 years ago, according to a study published on Monday.Cave art for at least 60,000 years - where do you get that?
Where do you get "In the third year of his reign, the whole of Egypt, even the desert and mountains was covered with water and all of the beasts and all of the people died"?
God blessed Noah and his sons ...The fact that Egyptian history just goes on past said flood is strong historical evidence that the flood as described in Genesis is not correct.
Even the increase of families, which appears to depend on merely natural means, and sometimes fortuitous circumstances, is all of God. It is by his power and wisdom that the human being is formed, and it is by his providence alone that man is supported and preserved.
Genesis 11Where do you get that language variety doesn't exists before the Tower of Babel? The Bible doesn't say that.
Sure. That is referring to a time post flood. The Bible makes no mention as to language variety pre flood - which certainly could have and likely did existsGenesis 11
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
While YEC certainly believe that there was a world-wide Noah flood (since that is what the Bible says)....the primary tenant of YEC is that the earth is young (God created it approximately 6000 years ago). It is that tenant that I find stunning that History (recorded) begins about 6000 years ago and in the Middle East in line with YEC belief of God creating the earth same time and place (where man was created).I made it up. It is a fictional example of what is missing from the Egyptian records.
(Also, if everyone died then so did the scribe.)
The fact that Egyptian history just goes on past said flood is strong historical evidence that the flood as described in Genesis is not correct.
Wow - what great scientific evidence that study presented....lol. Its so funny how people such as you can so easily question and marginalize the accuracy of the Bible but have no qualm when reading silly garbage like that study.Neanderthals, long perceived to have been unsophisticated and brutish, really did paint stalagmites in a Spanish cave more than 60,000 years ago, according to a study published on Monday.
Are you familiar/interested in my take on Neanderthals and Cro-magnons?Wow - what great scientific evidence that study presented....lol. Its so funny how people such as you can so easily question and marginalize the accuracy of the Bible but have no qualm when reading silly garbage like that study.
