I actually pretty much just got bored with trying to reason with you. We'll give it another shot though, since you're so keen.
Your previous post:
As you will see, all of these cities are far apart from eachother, excluding Sucre and La Paz which you can basically count as one area.
If all of these areas are the only ones that are in high ground, they have no way to contact each other - why would they need to?. Each of these areas are isolated. No way they are going to drive or travel by plane since they didn't have then back then.
Let's also mention the fact that these cities would have been under severe rainfall as well (Even though back then they didn't have all the fancy technology we have now).
So the respective cities are cut off from their supply lines - do you have any reason to assume this, other than the fact that it fits into your grand story?. You say they managed to find higher ground within these cities - actually, I said the cities themselves were far higher than the floods reached.
Now the major problem becomes food. They only have a limited supply of food and the water still won't subside until after a few months. I know for a fact that the shelves from the supermarkets need to be re-stacked daily, let alone a few months. All the food supplies will run out, everything will be chaotic. Everyone runs to higher ground so the supply demand will be humongous, with no supplies coming in - correct...people would kill and steal until relatively few people control all the food and survive. Do you disagree?
Now add to the fact that the wild beasts and animals will go hungry and hunt to kill and eat. How do you stop the elephants, the lions and the wild bears? - complete leap once again to assume that all the dangerous animals end up in close proximity to survivors. Do you not think a large city would have defences to keep out elephants and lions?
why would they need to? - Supply lines for a start.
do you have any reason to assume this, other than the fact that it fits into your grand story? - We just had a cyclone here in Australia. I know for a fact that when the roads are covered by water then the only way of access is either by boat or through the air. They didn't have any aircrafts back then but maybe they could have traveled by boat.
actually, I said the cities themselves were far higher than the floods reached. - The cities are still isolated nonetheless.
correct...people would kill and steal until relatively few people control all the food and survive. Do you disagree? - Kill all humans and animals. That is what would happen.
complete leap once again to assume that all the dangerous animals end up in close proximity to survivors. Do you not think a large city would have defences to keep out elephants and lions? - Now the problem becomes that the elephants, lions and bears are all wiped out and hence become extinct. Obviously elephants, lions and bears are not extinct. What that means is this version of the flood did not happen. There are too many plot holes in this version.
Now what if we take it to Noah's Ark point of view with the worldwide flood? All the animals in the ark are protected so the do not become extinct.
There is also another thing for you to consider, either the worldwide flood happened, which means the ENTIRE Earth was flooded, all the way up to the highest mountain or it didn't. If the worldwide flood didn't happen then there is no possible way that we could have any oil as a resource.
If the worldwide flood happened then there is an explanation for all of the oil that we have. I link three different websites to support this claim. They go into more detail about the origins of oil and the science behind it. Otherwise, how does the oil form without a worldwide flood?
