They say its dates to a time 7,500 years before yours - which is based on what exactly?

Why? your 'doubt' doesn't erase evidence - the C-14 dates are there any theory worthy of the name must account for them.

How? What evidence are you using for your date?

Why? You posted here on a discussion board - if you didn't want discussion then you made a strategic mistake.

The problem is you cannot show anything happened that killed x people or anything else.

No they went on by themselves completely ignoring your supposedly world wide disaster.

No I said it happened based on the evidence - those cultures were not destroyed or even noticed this disaster happened-can you point to the destruction layer for those two cultures?

Yep, because the evidence shows it never happened.

there is no evidence of such a grand flood over the entire world at that time.

Where a big wave comes in and flattens a village scattering it and leaving a tsunami debris and leaving a vast amount of dead animals.

Please show us evidence of this in Egypt for that time period then. See comment above

Oh where? Where is this level in Egypt? Geology report please.

Sorry only you seem to believe this. Given the theory you have created I wouldn't take it as at all believable.

They seemed to have failed completely but then again we see no evidence said disaster occurred....so what?

Seems they failed at that too.

Because the evidence is against your ideas you need to ignore it?

Ah leaving out evidence you cannot account for - very bad for the believably of a theory.
