Brad; modern Y chromosone studies have demonstrated that all men share a common male ancestry. 7,500 years is definately more than enough time for the level of genetic differences to have developed if one considers that there were mutations already underway in the family line prior to that point.
Who's to say what the exact racial/genetic background of this family was prior to the biblical account? Could this be why this particular family was chosen? It was hardly rare in those days.
Sorry but that seemingly rational arguement doesn't hold up. Under the right circumstances, with the right rate of breeding after that point, 7,500 years is enough time.
If the biblical account were untrue, and evolution alone accounts for human beings, why aren't there several families represented around the world? We know that all human males decend from a single patriarchical family. Evolutionists claim this is because we all evolved from the same species, but if this were true there would still be other geneticly different male families represented because evlolution supposedly occurs in a species, not just one family in a species. This just isn't the case. Y chromosone studies lead back to a single male family origin.
This lends credence to the biblical account of Noah's flood.
As to the ice ages, I just don't see the conflict. The bible doesn't address this topic one way or the other. The bible addresses the middle eastern area of the world. This area was never covered in ice during these periods, so why would it speak of it? Some people get the mistaken idea that the entire world was covered in ice during these periods, but that simply isn't the case as any geologist can tell you.
I know it's considered fun and chic to poke fun at Christians these days, and I'm sure you enjoy it greatly, but I find these tired, feeble old arguements to be just that; tired and feeble.
