I don't claim a population of a handful of individuals populated the different parts of the world in a matter of a few hundred years and I don't think the bible says so either.
So what are you saying? You have had the opportunity to explain your position several times that I know of and you have always dodged the question. How old is our planet, and how long has it been inhabited by humans and other living organisms? Do you really believe in the Biblical flood, and if yes, how do you explain away the complete lack of evidence for this claim? Why won't you answer these questions?
Science tells us that modern humans have been around for about 200,000 years. Our ancestors have left a record of their existence and their evolving brains in cave paintings dating back tens of thousands of years, and more recently, through the written word starting about 10,000 years ago. There are records of human civilization spread out across the globe, from China and India to the New World that go back to that period. How come none of these people ever noticed that the planet had been covered by nearly 30,000 feet of water? And how did these civilizations all simultaneously get wiped out and then recover immediately and continue on as if nothing had happened, cultures and languages still intact? The Egyptians were building pyramids and magnificent temples for their kings and their gods 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, just hundreds of years after the great flood. Where did these people come from? Why is there no evidence of a flood of this gargantuan magnitude in the geological record? How did the handful of humans and pairs of animals that were saved from the flood survive and propagate out across the planet, and why do these extreme bottlenecks not show up in any of their genomes?
The only rational answer is that the story of the Biblical flood is not true. And so this takes us back to the Bible and its writings; how do you place any credibility in its claims of a supernatural creator god when so many of its important claims are so obviously wrong? How much do you have to twist the lens and distort the facts to try to make the Biblical claims fit reality? How much do you have to distort the lens to justify to yourself that the god described in the Bible loves its creation, when it is apparently willing to curse its own children and all their descendants to disease and death, and commit planet-wide genocide by drowning pretty much every living thing on the planet in a fit of rage? Just because some people were misbehaving. Is this god worthy of your adoration?
We humans may be imperfect but most of us show more kindness to our pets and even wild animals than your god does to humans. And you come in here frequently to lecture us on the morality of abortions, when you worship a god that exterminates all life on the planet at one stroke, and will torture you for eternity if you don't accept his "friend invite", or did not get its invite because you were born in the wrong place or at the wrong time. How fucked up is that?
