Observation of the world in our time not actually being present at the time, if you understand science,
If you understood science then you would know none of your old earth mandates were ever observed. Nor do you produce evidence of any of the ancients attesting to billions of yrs earth and sun even older. it is all speculation based on fixed start points. Bible as faction and common descent as a given. It is not detached but front-loaded with bias.
the you should know the the first step is observing. Re the Global flood, there is no evidence that it occurred, zero!
Evidence was provided and ignored.
There is mountains of evidence of old earth.
Yawn. Where does all the energy come from to run a sun for billions of yrs? If it is two models then it would take a lot less energy to run a sun for thousands than it would to run multiple billions yr old sun.
Opinion does not equal fact since they are written as history, not stories. If you believe the writer was writing fiction then from the account make your case. Obviously you do not know what you are talking about since you cannot deduce a fiction account from an actual historical claims account. It is obvious the mind of the writer was to convey history to us from across times and cultures. You present not one bit of evidence to support your conclusion the writer was writing fiction. (stories) It is obvious the writer believed the Noah flood was actual history.
(from your link) are the beginnings of the investigation process, not the conclusion.
What do you mean beginning? It is multiple compiled accounts of the flood later corroborated by writers who took the flood as actual history. That is all called evidence and it all is ignored because it is not construed as the right kind. We all know why all that evidence is ignored and that is because it does not fit your old earth dogmatics. None of it has to do with actual investigation or science. it has to do with bias and fails under cross-examination. You can believe what you want including mystery ape/human common ancestors that never existed any more than pink fairies in the pumpkin patch.
Now that is garbage. Burial in a global flood will not sort the life forms we find into very specific strata, it would be all mixed up. A simple experiment using a fish tank will prove it every time.
Fact being the remains were preserved and a flood explains where you offer zero explanation for their preservation. If they were millions of yrs old they would not be there and there would be no soft tissue. More evidence you ignore because it does not support your old earth delusions.
I believe it because of the evidence.
No you do not. You believe it for the same reasons cultists believed the end of the earth via the hail Bopp comet.
If the Bible never existed
La La Land. The Bible does exist. If monkeys never existed....... The only thing that never existed is your ape/human common ancestor identity unknown.
do you think the current evidence would indicate a global flood?
The bible is not the only source for the flood. The bible does exist, is written to convey the history, and attests to a global flood. multiple compiled accounts treat Noah and the flood as history. All called evidence.
Sure there is, just look at all the various forms of dating the rocks
All of that is calibrated for an old earth. Its start point is old earth. So get out of town. it is not objective or detached. It is mostly crap. There is all kinds of front-loaded assumptions with dating rocks. None of them can be fact-checked against what actually happened.
