What actual evidence has been presented so far? Mostly I get a lot of CLAIMS but no actual evidence. Joshua, from your opening post, I'm not really that sure you are au fait with the concept of evidence.
What I get from the opening paragraph is the following claims:
Noah was a real live historical person.
Which has no support/evidence
The date of Noah's flood was between the end of October and the beginning of November in 2370 BCE according to Bishop Ussher
Which has no support bar Bishop Ussher's counting of the in the genealogies Bible. Which there are no reasons to believe are accurate or reflective of reality or histroy.
the evidence from Google earth satellite photos indicated that the the area of Noah's flood is under the Persian Gulf
I'd dispute this. I'd say the evidence from Google earth only gives us a present day map of the Persian Gulf, and gives us almost no evidence of past flooding in the region bar short term surface erosion and flood debris. It tells us VERY LITTLE, if anything, about widescale flooding in the Persian Gulf area ~4400 years ago.
Lets think about what exactly was ON Noah's ARK.
This is not evidence and simply assumes its premise - you need to establish there WAS an ark, before you can start talking about what was inside it
IF you put the plant seeds on the ark the plant is no longer a wild plant is is now domesticated. Wild plants require the wind or natural elements to distribute their seeds. Cultivated plants requires man to be a part of the equation. Everything on Noah's Ark was domesticated nothing was wild.
Cultivation is not domestication, and this is NOT how domestication works - a wild plant seed harvested by a person and then just planted and grown is not domesticated. There will be no observable difference between the parent generation and the cultivated generation.
Domestication is a process that requires MULTIPLE generations, with humans interference artificially by selecting for desired traits. I'm a fourth generation stud ram breeder. I know this stuff.
We know Adam and Eve in the Bible that lived 6,000 years ago were Hebrew or Jewish or whatever the correct term is.
No supporting evidence for any of this.
Abraham's covenant with God is perpetual from age to age and from generation to generation.
No supporting evidence for this. Assumes its premises.
This is a big fight among the descendants of Abraham for the land and the mineral rights to the land and the air space above their land. This is a fight between the son of Abraham's wife Sarah and the son from Sarah's handmaiden the Egyptian Hagar.
The fact that semitic peoples fought among themselves and with other cutural/social groupings is not evidenece for any kind of Noachian flood.
Gentiles are adopted into the family of God (Abraham). We are not natural descendants of Abraham. We are wild branches grafted into a domesticated tree because the natural branches did not produce fruit and they were thrown into the fire.
The fact that gentiles are not semitic peoples is not evidenece for any kind of Noachian flood.
