Please reconcile.
Please explain population growth, and migration from Middle-East to America.

There are no such dates in the Bible.
People that try to claim they have a date for the flood are only attempting to do "Bible Math"
All the people that do Bible math will sooner or later teach error/

Another thing to remember about the flood of Noah and the creation account. These were eyewitness accounts dictated to God's scribe Moses.

All else (the various creation and flood epics) were handed down through generations of human traditions myths and supers***ions. That there is any semblance to them and the eyewitness account tells us the historic event took place and had enough of an impact on ancient people to p*** down the details and act as a testimony from an unreliable witness (humanity).
