And there it is, no actual proof just god did it.

There is no trickery. You are clearly saying a "superior race" were the only ones that could have advanced mankind and that it had to be someone who got off the ark.
That is why I mentioned flood stories from other places, they can each just be talking about local floods and people in different places and at different times learned to farm and raise animals, maybe even organized different civilizations?
You can't have that if you believe those 8 people are the only ones left to repopulate. It's one or the other and you haven't proven the later.

No, you said that.
You are confused because you did not look at the anthropology I provided that showed there was 1 group that went into every culture and society and civilized them by introducing horses and domesticated livestock to establish agricultural practices.
I will take a stab at it.

The water is not in a liquid form h2o is used to create crystals.It is locked inside the molecular structure of minerals called ringwoodite and wadsleyite in mantle rock that possesses the remarkable ability to absorb water like a sponge.this crystal converts water into its structure . The ringwoodite is 1.5 percent water, present not as a liquid but as hydroxide ions (oxygen and hydrogen molecules bound together).It doesn't get released until you destroy the crystal.
So no there isn't vast amounts of water to cause a flood.
Supercritical fluids can occur in nature. For example, in places like underwater volcanoes, specifically those located deep beneath the ocean's surface, supercritical water is formed because of the immense pressure due to the depth and the intense heat from the vents of the volcano.
volcanoes of Japan, Iceland, Indonesia, and numerous other places occur on the margins of the massive solid rocky plates that make up Earth’s surface. When one plate slides under another, water trapped in the subducted, sinking plate is squeezed out of it by enormous pressure, which produces enough heat to melt nearby rock, forming magma. Since the magma is more buoyant than the surrounding rock, it rises, and it may collect in chambers nearer to the surface. As a chamber fills up, the pressure inside may increase.
God told the patriarch to coat the ark, both inside and out, all 229,500 square feet of it, with pitch, and, in fact, this was a common practice in ancient times. But when Noah hurried to the corner hardware store, the shelf was bare, for pitch is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon similar to petroleum (Rosenfeld, p. 126), and we know that oil, tar, and coal deposits were formed when organic matter was buried and subjected to extreme pressure during the flood

I must have missed the part in the bible that lists all of Gods 'special' people's blood group??
Do you fancy posting it for me??
Loved the added "A wife or 2". So now it's ok to just add anything to the bible off hand, to try and strengthen your rediculous premise. You can just make it up as you go, can't you?
I jave to assume you know that
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.

In reality the ethnic complexity found throughout the world cannot be derived from the flood survivors in the few centuries since that time. The human genetic pool was reduced to five individuals—Mr. and Mrs. Noah and their daughters-in-law (the three sons don't count because they only carry combinations of the genes present in Mr. and Mrs. Noah, unless creationists are willing to admit to beneficial gene mutations). And even if, by some freak coincidence, the five people never had a variant in common, there would still be far too few alleles to account for humankind's diversity. Nearly a third of human genes are polymorphic (Bodner and Cavalli-Sforzi, p. 589), and some, such as the two controlling A and B antigens, with thirty varieties (p. 589), would require substantially more people than Genesis makes available.
If creationists allowed beneficial mutations to produce the thirty different antigens of the A and B series in the HLA region, it would still not solve their problem. Individuals are only heterozygous at a fairly low percentage of loci (5 to 20 percent), while the population could be polymorphic at nearly half the loci. It's questionable how viable an individual would be with a high percentage of heterozygosity (Dobzhansky,

All throughout this thread you've made assumptions about pretty much the whole flood myth.

Educate yourself and stop making assumptions and expect us to believe them too...

I highlighted the depths for a reason. We are talking about upper mantle. After it get hydrated into minerals, like olivine (2% water), it continues its deep-water cycle, and undergoes polymorphic change into ringwoodite (1% water) as depth increase.

you keep getting this wrong. The 'water' is part of the rock structure. Do you dare link the site you're getting most of your info from?
The "supercritical water" is mostly absorbed into crystal form and your god flooded the world with peridot.

You haven't presented anything other than your own assumptions that aren't spoke about in the bible. "Oh, there were a few extra women on the Ark because I said so". Thats just dumb and pure conformation bias...

“Assumptions are dangerous things to make, and like all dangerous things to make — bombs, for instance, or strawberry shortcake — if you make even the tiniest mistake you can find yourself in terrible trouble.”
Researchers have used distinct markers from human subpopulations to trace back to our common African root in a giant human "tree." However, a “trellis” model might be more appropriate.
To track the evolution of groups, anthropological geneticists study extremely polymorphic alleles. In addition to mtDNA, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and short tandem repeat (microsatellite) loci—nucleotide repeats, such as CACACACA—are found throughout mammalian genomes, and they have proved to be immensely useful for inferring the history of human migration.
Out of Africa: New Hypotheses and Evidence for the Dispersal of Homo sapiens Along the Indian Ocean Rim
The dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa is a significant topic in human evolutionary studies. Most investigators agree that our species arose in Africa and subsequently spread out to occupy much of Eurasia. Researchers have argued that populations expanded along the Indian Ocean rim at ca 60,000 years ago
Modern Humans Came Out of Africa, "Definitive" Study Says
We are solely children of Africa—with no Neandertals or island-dwelling "hobbits" in our family tree, according to a new study.
Scientists who compared the skulls and DNA of human remains from around the world say their results point to modern humans (Homo sapiens) having a single origin in Africa.
The study didn't find any evidence to suggest that human species living elsewhere in the world contributed to our direct ancestors' make-up.
A team led by Andrea Manica at the University of Cambridge, England, combined analysis of global genetic variations with comparisons of more than 6,000 skulls from more than a hundred ancient human populations.
The team found that loss of genetic diversity was very closely mirrored by reduced physical variation the farther away people lived from Africa.
No it's not, at that depth the minerals are beyond their melting point and exist as a liquid. They are not crystals in the depths of the mantle, they are only crystalized when they are spewed onto earth's surface and exposed to regular pressure and temperatures
