True, but that is not the problem with the belief of JW. Jw rejects the sciences of evolution based on their interpretation of Genesis,

New Testament references to the Flood
Matthew 24:37–39
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating...
Really? Why do you think that is what happened? Have you even ever seen permafrost? I can think of how it would have happened without "extreme turbulence".
No, that makes no sense at all. He could merely be referring but to a general time of troubles a long long time ago. Is a...
Yes, there is great mystery surrounding it. The Permafrost is not just snow & ice; if that were so, there would be no vegetation growing on top of it. There is soil mixed in with it. Snow & ice, as it normally falls, doesn’t result in soil, gravel & sand being mixed in with the precipitation …...
As I said, Noah was not a Hebrew and no doubt did not live in Palestine, so a local catastrophic flood would not have to be in Palestine to be real for Noah.
When the New Testament says the world that then was, was destroyed with the flood, it can mean the known world and people, and not...
Hebrews are descendants of Noah. There is no evidence of a local catastrophic flood in Palestine.
It cannot be a local flood as far as Palestine is concerned, and it would conflict with the New Testament that confirms the world flood and Noah...
No, Jesus would have known that the flood was a myth. Those words were misremembered by subsequent Jewish writers who had an agenda. A 600 year old man in a boat with his mixed race in-laws + millions of animals for a year is just a little difficult to accept. But I support your right to believe it.
You've clearly chosen to ignore the abundance of scholarship that refutes the claims you make about the dating and authorship of the Gospels.
It may surprise you to hear that the dating of the Gospels is dependent on the internal integrity of the text. Those who try to provide a date later than...
Repeating knowledge already known (Matthew24:37-39; Luke 17:26-27) by every other religious Jews in his time, isn’t a big deal.
Beside that the original 1st century gospels were composed anonymously. The names of evangelists were only ascribed to the 4 gospels by early to mid 2nd century CE...

It is not evidence of a global flood. I understand that you cannot conceive of other means for ancient remains to end up in the permafrost. Or you do not want to out of bias.
Why do you think the animals found in the permafrost are so range specific. No kangaroos in the permafrost...
You do not appear to understand what permafrost is. It is not water. It is soil and water. If an animal died close to an advancing glacier in a valley or other low spot it could easily have been buried. Creationists have no explanation for permafrost that has not been refuted.
And the reason for us to occasionally find well-preserved parts of, & complete, megafauna within the fresh-water Permafrost — not on the surface, but in it — all across the Northern hemisphere is....?
No slow moving ice age or slow melting could have been the cause.
Many assume the Flood is...
For me it is more about agreement between what the Bible says and what science has found or even theorised.
It is interesting that the translation of the Bible can be legitimately done to agree with a more localised flood, and of course this same sort of flood could have happened in other places...
This is entirely correct IMO. Omnipotence means "all powerful" and there can only be one....the personage described in Psalm 83:18.....which in most Bible translations is completely meaningless...

Actually, it's not so much about what science DID discover as it is about what science did NOT discover....
See, the literal biblical flood myth, makes 2 very very testable predictions:
1. there should be a global flood layer in the geological column
2. there should be a MASSIVE genetic...
