Gobekli Tepe is just since this last more recent ice age. There is evidence all over the ancient world of people from the ice age before that, and the ice age before that one. In the timeline of hominids there has been over 20 ice ages.
But I am not discrediting that there was a flood. Every oral and written tradition in the world speaks of the flood. And geological evidence shows there was a flood. I just have a problem with “selective evidence” being used to support a pet narrative.
If they had found evidence of man before this biblical event would they be honest and include that? No... Because it doesn’t fit the biased predetermined results and narrative the funding sources expected before a shovel ever broke ground on the dig.
I am personally absolutely biting at the bit for the Bible to be proven, but honestly... Not with bias selective finds and/or evidence and twisted narratives. These type of campaigns might also discredit true evidence if and when it is found.
Belive what you will. Neither you nor I were there when life came to be from chemicals, with cessation of it following.
