WW, What the the relevance of the various alledged anomalies you bring out if you do not believe in a global flood? For example you ask why the human population isn't higher, what castrophe kept it down. Why ask these questions if you do not believe in a global flood or man being here only six thousand years? Surely you know the answers: Death kept he population down. The "catastrophe" was disease, illness. There is much more to say as regards man's antiquity and the relatively delicate record of the cycles of earth which would have been destroyed by a global flood that can push up the Andes, the Rockies, the Alps, and the Himilayas, but no need on your account, you don't debate those issues anyway. I don't understand what you are debating with whom. It seems that you agree with a great deal that those you debate believe. One thing, though, in considering your many posts I have read: read "Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan. It's not about demons or anything of the sort. It is a book about the true nature of science and how it does not conflict with other values, including spiritual ones. Most valuable is his commentary on pseudoscience and logical falacies. I have victimized myself with both of these in my life. He has a very enjoyable style and it's available in paperback for around $14. If you would read this one book, not to debate, but to enjoy, it would save you much time and agravation.
