But fortunately, popular accounts do not comprise scientific models.
I do not at all want to minimize the extent of the problems for a flood
model. Neither do I want to be saddled with the presuppositions of those
who have not attempted to build a scientific model for the process. These
"models" are paper shells as you know.
