Anytime you want to go on a tour of what the World and Life is really about let me know. How do you know it is that old? I think it is built on a 4300 year old bed of marine fossils, which would be cool- not ironic. I have always been honest about where I get my information, never claimed to be getting it from talkorigins. It was not from the Creation Museum though, I have not been there. Kind of arrogant to assume you know where I get my material better than I do.

So to argue against the flood by using dating methods that assume no flood is inappropriate.
So, basically, your line of reasoning amounts to "you're wrong and I'm right" without actually giving any reason to doubt the veracity of Egyptian historiography than that.
Maybe I need to use smaller words. Egyptian Hystoriography is based on anti-flood assumptions, so it cannot be used to argue against a flood. It's not that hard to understand. Using this to argue against what it already assumes is untrue would be committing the "Assuming the Proof" fallaacy. If you want to be lillogical be my guest, but I will not play that game.
