   It sure seems like that to people who have been pointed out the answers many   
   times, all to no avail and remember it not.   
   >

   Why would it? the Bible we have was written long ago. So then how logical   
   would it be to declare how long ago things happened, when people like you   
   would point to it and say things like “Well the Bible says the flood   
   happened 2,000 years ago” As if that were an established fact that was   
   relative to our time.

   It was answers to your question asked.and as to proof of anything, you accept   
   nothing as proof of anything.
