Noah's Flood, Ice Age, and Neanderthals

“Live Science” on Aug.31 published an article by Charles Q. Choi saying humans had a “close call with extinction” about a “million years ago”.

“The human population may have lingered at about 1,300 for more than 100,000 years, and that population bottleneck could have fueled the divergence between modern humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans.”

I continue to be amazed at what is so loosely called “science” these days. The time scale of a million years mentioned above cannot be verified; it is only speculation based on unprovable assumptions of evolutionists.

The so-called “divergence between ‘modern’ humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans” is another extremely disputable idea that can hardly be called scientific. Well qualified creationist PhD scientists believe Neanderthals and Denisovans (having slightly different DNA) are fully human, and that there are no such things as “pre-human” creatures. The record only shows humans and apes, with no transitional forms. Male and female humans were created by God; they did not evolve.

What’s interesting about the Live Science article is that they’ve discovered a “bottleneck”. This happens to coincide perfectly with the biblical history of Noah’s Flood, which of course created a quite a “bottleneck” in our population  history – down to 8 people – Noah and his wife and his 3 sons and their wives.

The biblical history timeline places Noah’s Flood at about 4,300 years ago.

Interestingly, adjusting the fanciful evolutionary timeline from 1,000,000 years down to 4,300 years would by the same reasoning reduce the 100,000 years (said to be the approximate length of the bottleneck) down to 430 years, which wouldn’t be very different from a biblical timeline between the Flood and the Tower of Babel.

That’s not all. The Live Science article also mentions “The scientists noted this population crash coincided with severe cooling that resulted in the emergence of glaciers, a drop in ocean surface temperatures”.

What a coincidence! Michael Oard’s explanation of the ice age attributes the cooling to an aftermath of Noah’s Flood, and lasting about 600 years.
