I highly doubt that. The samples used in DNA testing and carbon dating are not
scraped off the outer surfaces of the bones, but the inside which is protected
from most elements. I cannot say for 100% certainty that carbon dating is 100%
accurate, nor is DNA as there MAY be some contaminent in the specimen. But they
often take multiple specimens to test from various areas of the testing
subject.
As for floods depicted, isn't that just the natural weather patterns of the
planet? Back in the days 000's of years ago, when the entire planet was just
the known area of where they live, if a flood happened during a rain, wouldn't
that be seen as a "global flood"? If I lived in a jungle and never saw more
than 10 kilometers from my house, and a huge rain flooded the area, as far as I
know, that would be global.
