“There’s plenty of evidence for artifacts of certain cultures going farther back than 2350BC, way farther.”
Well, you go ahead and believe your interpretation of that evidence, and I will believe the Word of God. Someday, we will know which is right.
“They had souls.”
Not according to the verse I quoted. Only eight souls survived the flood, so if you say others survived, they could not have had souls, unless you want to call God a liar.
Yep.

Well now, if you really want to get technical, the verse says "saved by water". So maybe He saved 8 souls by water then millions by underground air pockets or such. I don't care how he saved them, they were all here before Noah, they were all here after Noah.
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
unless you want to call God a liar.
I consider that a great sin for someone to say, "believe as I do, or you're calling God a liar". That person is saying he is perfect in wisdom as Jesus. You'll never hear me say that, that's for sure.
