"when you think you are knowlegeable enough to prove to me what conditions existed 6,000 years ago then let me know".
Neither you nor I know what happened at that time, so all YOU can say is "I don't know" - the very thing you accuse me of saying!
Forensic evidence does allow the past to be revisited with a reasonable degree of accuracy
using establish scientific principles.
Such as the case of the scriptures of the flood itself, a principle does not have to necessary
be scientific, but can be evidentiary based upon known and observed information contained
within the document itself making the claim.
While the text regarding of the flood is considered to have been written by Moses, including the
account of the exodus and the 10 commandments, which many consider the scriptures themselves as
evidence of Moses writing them in addition they cite the passage of John 5:46-47 wherein
it is written that the man called Jesus said the following;
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Yet despite all the facts that might support Moses writing the first five books containing
the text of the flood and the 10 commandments, the principle that the ability to read and
write the written spoken word is acquired knowledge which would have required that
Moses had been taught that ability.
Therefore, as written in Acts 7:22 "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
and was mighty in words and in deeds." However, there is no records or evidence to support
that Moses learned how to read and write the spoken word from the Egyptians.
The historical evidence of the Egyptian civilization contains cryptic symbols, know as hieroglyphics,
in what many historians concluded was part of the evolution of written communication. However,
hieroglyphics would require one the have already known what the message was in order to have
understood what the symbolic drawings meant.
With the Egyptians being the most advanced civilization during that period, their lacking of knowledge
regarding the written spoken word indicates that it is very improbable that any of the jurisdictions under
Pharaoh's throne would have had the knowledge or ability of the written spoken word either without it being
known by the King.
Now according to the atheist advent of a more advanced Samaritan civilization which predates the
Egyptians and Moses, including the artifacts were discovered in the late 20th century<<< to refute the
superior Egyptian civilization of the time and to explain away the reason Moses could have obtained or
would have known how to read and write the written spoken word when it was unknown to the Egyptians.
But out of curiosity's sake, I would ask how many believe that Moses wrote the 10 commandments and the
first 5 books of the OT in light of John 5:46-47, yet it seems that those that believe seem to go deaf and dumb
when asked to stand up for the sake of the Gospel.
