Theres no evidence for this. Besides GT is still dated at 12 to 14,000 years. You can say science is wrong to believe and yet we believe the same science when it matters such as in medicine and behavioural sciences. Or even physics ie we can fly planes and people use them everyday. Its all science.
But when it proves something you don't like and agree with it suddenly becomes untrustworthy. THis is good science on dating GT. Its been repeated at the same cite as well as at other sites around it and even on the other side of the world. In fact dozens of times. To say that every single independent test is untrustworthy is biased. We would not use that criteria for any other issue.
But you are right in that GT may have been associated with Noahs flood. If Noahs flood is the great flood of the Younger Dryas period around 12 to 14,000 years ago then GT was either a witness beforehand or the beginnings of culture soon after the flood as they are close to when the flood happened. Maybe they were a preflood culture as their beliefs are very pagan.
Actually some say that the place Noah may have landed is around
Lake Van in eastern Turkey in the Armenian highlands which is around 1650 feet above sea level and near Mt Ararat.
Some very ancient ruins and artifacts have been found especially at the bottom of the lake 250 feet down. A granite chest of some sort with similar despictions as the Sumariens but predates them.
OK I am not sure what this means.
I am not trying to pull Gods book down. I believe everything God said. In fact I believe so much that I am confident that this will be reflected in our world and reality. Maybe not always or in that moment. But will eventually be proven true. It has to be by logic and reason.
If the flood did really happen in our recent history then we should find geological and archeological evidence for it. It should show cultures before the flood and cultures after the flood with a sort of intermission between. We should find this reflected in the historical and archeological evidence of cultures.
Not because we need this to believe God. But because Gods intervention had a real impact on our world. Its not necessary for belief but we should expect to find that the evidence in the ground aligns with Gods word. Thats just a practical reality.
The only evidence for a global sized flood in the last 20,000 years or 6,000 if you want is the one that came during the Younger Dryas extinction event. We have the scientific evidence for this from many lines of evidence and it happened around 12 to 14,000 years ago. It could not have happened 5,500 years ago as it would have wiped our the birth of civilisation with Mesopotamia and the Sumariens.
There is no evidence for such a violent and global sized event happening 5,500 years ago. Thats just obvious because its not millions of years ago we are talking about but recently. We have written history, we have the archeology and everyone agrees with the timeline that the birth of civiliusation happened 5,500 years ago.
I am not sure what you mean.
