Am I missing something here?

Glenn has proposed a 5.5 million year ago Flood, right?

He has admitted no human beings were around (the infamous 3.5 million year
gap), right?

So how does Noah fit into this? Who was Noah?

(I haven't read Glenn's book, so forgive me if I've missed this point).

The Bible tells us there was a thriving culture at the time of the Flood. And
shortly thereafter, more thriving culture.

But there weren't any people around 5.5 million years ago! No language, no
tools (try making an Ark without tools!)....zip.

Yet, just BEFORE the Flood, "men began to increase in number on the earth..."
(Gen. 6:1).

How are these Biblical facts "incorporated" into the 5.5 million year view?
