There's plenty of proof.

Some people just refuse to acknowledge it. They're too frightened.

Nye vs Ham - The Aftermath - YouTube
The guy in the video is transferring our ignorance as to how to build an ark the size Noah built to Noah. He doesn't know Noah's expertise especially with God giving him wisdom to do that which God told him to do.

You have no verifiable PROOF that if it took 4,000 years for the plates to move apart to where the continents presently are would have devastating geological effects. First of all you would have to duplicate by actual experience what would take place. You can't therefore it is only taking a stab in the dark.

The LUCA wouldn't have been an amoeba, and through the process of replication and accumulated change it could easily create the different populations we see around us, explaining our similarities and differences.

Sorry but comics are not proof.

I'm not frightened at all. So why say it?

I strongly know that it is ostensively just the way it is that you are completely wrong about history matching your preferred religious propaganda.
But I'm not wrong. Did I say Noah's sons forgot all about Noah? Did you know Noah's sons had children after the flood? Problems started right after the flood with Ham. Ham was cursed. Ham and his four sons founded South West Asia, Africa and Egypt, which of course is in Africa. Why should he stick with Noah's understanding especially after being cursed? I provide historical evidence for this in the link below.

I know you don't want to read this The sixteen grandsons of Noah - creation.com but it talks about historic evidence of Noah's sons down to 16 grandsons of Noah and the spreading out over the earth.

It should be obvious that I don't think the story of the Ark is literally true. I'm sure they were trying to make some point with it, but it's hard to imagine what it might be. Maybe to force conformity with church doctrine, but maybe it was just the Star Wars of it's day.

Before I waste my time proving the effects of tectonic plate movements, I want to know that,if it contradicts your Bible story, you will not dismiss it out of hand but will take it under consideration and possibly accept it.

Just so we know you were just throwing out a number that there were "millions of animals on the ark".

You are sure they were trying to make a point with it just like you were sure there were millions of animals on the ark.

Maybe? . . . maybe? How about "maybe not"?
