The actual topic and not off topic personal junk -
Someone explain why Egypt, India and China all had vibrant civilizations that grew and flourished before, during, and after the Noahs Ark Flood time period ... UNINTERRUPTED.
Oldest Civilizations in the World - Unbroken Civilization Through Noahs Ark Time Period - Not Wiped Out
One of the most important dating tools used in archaeology may sometimes give misleading data, new study shows - and it could change whole historical timelines as a result.
The discrepancy is due to significant fluctuations in the amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere, and it could force scientists to rethink how they use ancient organic remains to measure the passing of time.
If the whole earth was covered by six miles of water, then all nations must have been completely exterminated. However Babylonian, Egyptian and Chinese history runs right through this period without a break. The Bible gives the date of the flood as commencing in 2345 B.C. and ending in 2344 B.C.. In lower Sumer, later called Chaldea, which occupied the same Plains of Shinar to which Noah’s family journeyed after the flood, the city of Ur of the Chaldees was the leading city from about 2400 B.C. until about 2285 B.C.. Its history is not broken by any flood in this period.
Farther to the north, Babylon was rising to power from about 2400 B.C. on and reached a great height of civilization under the famous King Hammurabi, who lived at the same time as the Hebrew patriarch Abraham, about 2250 B.C.. There is no break in this history due to a flood. In Egypt, the eleventh dynasty began to reign about 2375 B.C. over a great and powerful nation. The eleventh dynasty ruled to about 2212 B.C., and was followed by the twelfth dynasty, which ruled to about 2000 B.C.. There was no break in the eleventh dynasty at the time of Noah’s flood, 2345 B.C.. The nation continued to be large and powerful throughout this period.
Accurate history of China begins nearly 3000 B.C. The Shu King historic record of China, shows that King Yao came to the throne in 2356 B.C., 11 years before the start of Noah’s flood, and ruled China for many years after the flood. During the reign of Yao, the Shu King reports that the Hwang Ho river, which drains the mountains and a great basin in Sinkiang province, had excessive floods for three generations. Here again, there was no break in history. The Chinese nation was not wiped out. Its own records show it continued in existence right through the period of Noah’s flood.
Among the many mistaken and unscriptural notions, commonly taught in nearly all churches, is the idea that the flood mentioned in the Bible, covered all the earth. It states everybody on earth was drowned excepting Noah and his family, who escaped death by being in the ark. Many churches have firmly insisted the Bible says this, when there is ample proof the flood was not world wide. With this teaching the churches have destroyed the faith of multitudes of people. They have made atheists or agnostics out of hundreds of thousands of people who might have become active Christians, had only been taught the truth about the Bible.
Part of this mistaken idea about the flood is due to the many mistranslations found in the commonly used King James Bible. Part of it appears plainly to be false, if you carefully read even the King James Bible. Let’s have a look at it.
Yes it's off topic. People's beliefs in Jesus have NOTHING to do
with Noahs Ark and the world wide flood. Nothing.
Address the topic - how did the Panda bears get from China to
the Middle East with having to swim across oceans and having
no bamboo to eat on the way or when they get there and no bamboo
on the boat or after the boat landed back on dry land and no bamboo
for the trip swimming back across the ocean ???

I'll assume you;re becoming angry for some reason.
Why would an atheist even care to cast a thread like this?
Maybe the same way the Israelites survived to wonder the desert for
40 yrs. Opps off topic! Right? No wrong. ?

I addressed your question if you weren't to angry to notice.
Or do you ... blah blah blah
You really should stop lying. I'm not angry. And I addressed your
supposed addressing of my question. You failed to answer it.
Citing Exodus don't explain how pandas supposedly swam all the way
from China to the Middle East, nor does it explain how they ate bamboo
all the way, and in the ark, when it grows in Japan and not the
Middle East.

Again Elijah ascended to heaven in a "fiery chariot and horses". A craft was Something simple men who didn't understand technology wouldn't know how to describe. Same can be said about the Ark.
The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

You still avoided the theory Noah's Ark was really a extra terrestrial craft and every living thing on earth was taken aboard to avoid an extinction level event and then re-populated the earth.
