The problem is that the antagonist takes a story from the Bible, interprets it 100% literally, and asks how that can be becvause obviously it cannot. There are thousand of stories in the Bible that cannot possibly be true from any objective standpoint.
I have come to the conclusion that both parties, creationists and...whatever the other(s) would like to be called, have an insatiable appetite for being correct.
since most animals and humans became genetically corrupted through angelic activity
Today science is doing the same thing

actually my question doesn't show anything...
I was simply interested in what it would take to get you to admit that you're wrong...which by your response, it would take more than just the ark being found...it would likely take more than an act of congress, or even an act of God....

My contention is that there was a worldwide flood about 12,000 BC that wiped out fairly advanced (as in Bronxe, maybe Iron Age) civilization. If you are familira with Graham Hancock's "Underword," he makes a fairly good case. What we are seeing in the Bible is one of many iterations of that flood story that has come down to us in hundreds of variations.

In regard to human events that happened many thousands of years ago you are not going to get evidence so you are doing nothing but trolling with anti-Christian talking points.
As for where Jesus stands on people asking for signs and miracles in order to believe.
...a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given...
It simply isn't faith without faith and its faith that is the key - not intellectual understanding. You having the Intellectual understanding of the events isn't the key to life.
So what say you?

And as for your Jesus quote, very cute...again, welcome to the 21st century where rational people need more than scare tactics based on fairy tales
I'm not anti-Christian...be as Christian as you like, but showing an incredible lack of knowledge when it comes to the theory of evolution, while attacking said theory, makes you look silly.
