<< All I am asking is a 3.5 million year gap
in the fossil record of mankind.>>
That's "all"? ;-)
Anyway, I do appreciate the clarification. But it seems to me that "asking
for" what doesn't have support is a problem.
No one in the scientific community thinks modern man existed 5.5 million years
ago. No one. No one believes there was a thriving culture and sophisticated
tool use and language. Yet this is being "asked for" in order for the theory
to work. This is a HUGE request, one that is not supported by any data or any
scientist.
Also, what is the point of arguing for "Broca's region" in hominids 2 million
years ago? Under your theory, modern man was already in existence! You seem at
cross purposes with yourself, arguing on two different fronts. Are you saying
the Noahic line proceeded to re-populate the Earth in this 3.5 million year
dark age, yet at the same time evolution was forming the basis for what would
develop into modern man? How can this be?
I'm not sure what the point of the list of "to do's" was, but I do recall Noah
being a pretty old fella, and trust he acquired quite a bit of knowledge along
the way. He also walked with God, which gave him a lot of inside information.
He lived 350 years after the Flood. I assume he wasn't sitting on his duff.
And if his sons spawned nations as the Bible tells it, we would have much more
evidence over a 3.5 million year span.

P.S. I do appreciate the more moderate tones of the debate. This is fun again.
