In a global flood, topsoil and mountain sides would be scoured clean, into the seas
~no longer to see the air or the light

This is not consistent with the creationist hypothesis that all the sedimentary layers we see were laid down by the flood.

Indeed, some preceded the Great Flood while others, were created later also

God could write and talk when Adam was here.
Grains or pollens etc found are only dated using beliefs.
Your choice is only in what to belive. I think that is clear.

Oh yes, irrefutably....
on the other hand, while there is no doubt Adam could speak (also)
Nowhere does the bible mention, that he could also write, at-all (?)


Missing evidence ?
What you believe, may not be ~what others believe (Is 'clear')
unfortunately, you, cannot prove that you are ALWAYS RIGHT
Whereas, eminent and specialist minds have also given their considered opinion
based-upon, scientific examinations and have written these 'facts' down in peer-evaluated white-papers
ergo: 'considered true'

. . .If you tell me Adam had a chariot, please forgive me my chuckling (at the thought). . .

Our Genesis narrative doesn't mention wheels for Adam. However, Adam practiced agriculture:

Gen 3:19
19 By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
NASU

And his second son kept domesticated animals.

Gen 4:2
And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
NASU

That is not our model. That seems more to me like a decades old opinion of some.

You have no peers that know the nature of the past. Be honest.

Adam may not have needed to write. Personally, I suspect that later post flood post Babel man invented writing, pics at first.

Creationists have many, many models that are inconsistent with each other. Without reality to constrain them, their imagination naturally does that.

To which you replied:

Dad said:

For sure, I have read ONLY, the 'works', upon which the reputations of many, rest
Which, incidentally, have been considered and acknowledged, by THEIR PEERS
as being accurately described and, appropriately theorised


Dad said:

Oh I see, he did not 'keep a journal' nor, record his farming methods (experiences)
to pass on down to his children.... mmmmmmh
Then why did mankind, wait, so-long, to develop 'writing' do you think ?
I only ask, because you seem able, to offer definitive answers to everyone

Yes, I suppose pictograms (pictographs) would surely have come 'first'

Oh for sure.... The FIRST mention of 'writing' in the bible, was surely the mention of "SCRIBES"
and the second mention, was of the Stone Tablets that God gave to Moses
Whereupon it may be assumed 'that they could be read'
__
Exodus 31:18 (NIV)

When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai,
he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law,
the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
__

Re: grains and pollens
are they not assessed (for age) by credible testing means ? (genetically, also)
Oh yes, we are truly given choice
and, to choose; as to whether the alleged evidence, is plausible /credible or not
Many, over the centuries, have spent their whole careers (adult life)
'honing' their experience and skills with God-given talents
and committed their knowledge (beliefs) to paper

I sure wish you had been able to spread some light upon 'Ezekiels Wheels' for me
I had sought your opinion / knowledge, of them

Yes, I suppose pictograms (pictographs) would surely have come 'first'
Adam was created having maturity, but without a history.

I'm sure that maturity would include the ability to read and write.

Adam was to procreate and begin the process of replenishing the earth, and I'm sure God knew about how the Telephone game works.

Especially since He knew who was coming to mess up the works (the Devil).

After all, Eve got word-of-mouth communication wrong right from the get-go.

Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Can't argue with that. But they all try to use the bible in their guesses, which beats so called science.

If men needed to write before the tower of Babel, then Adam could write. Not so much 'could' but would have had some need to. It seems to me that when you cannot talk to hardly anyone outside your little tent village or whatever, that writing would start to be needed. Pics at first, just to communicate. Writing is just a form of communication, after all.

The throne of God and wheels in Ezekiel seem to be of a heavenly nature, so naturally would be subject to many interpretations and opinions. It seems to me that God hovered over the earth in creation week. He probably hovered over the birth of Christ (star of Bethlehem) and there is a place where it may talk of God's usual orbit while on such visits...the 'circle' of the earth!

Since similar if not identical visions were had elsewhere in Scripture to that of Ezekiel, I assume it would also involve more than space travel, but through time also.

Where did he learn it?

He got it from God.

Just like Paul did the Gospel.

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.


For the record though, Adam was created with it.

From God.

So, if I were to ask Adam about his education, would he not remember actually learning his ABCs, or would he have an "embedded" memory of God sitting down with him and teaching him grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc...

Just like Paul did the Gospel.

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

So by Paul's own admission, he never actually read the works of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. (Of course, how could he? they weren't yet in print when he was doing his thing...)

Meaning, based on nothing but his own claim that God told him everything worth knowing, he went on to lead the Church in the direction of his (not necessarily His) choosing, as well as disagree with those Christians who had actually met and learned from Jesus (including Peter himself). Correct?

That being said, it means that Paul's motto would come out somewhat different from your own:

You: THE BIBLE SAYS IT, THAT SETTLES IT
Paul: THE BIBLE SAYS IT, BUT I DON'T NEED IT
