geologic/anthropologic history. Let me point out several important items.
My view is consistent with all known facts.
A brief comment:
In a recent exchange, I made the point that Glenn's account is
not consistent with all the known facts, particularly, the existence
of the nearly identical flood story in Sumerian literature.
The existence of this story means that the Hebrew (or the Sumerian)
culture acquired the story by contact or descent. If the Mediterranean
infill was presented to Moses as a vision, then how did the Sumerian
story get there? (The Sumerian culture was established long before
Moses)
Anyway, I thought that was one of the points of the exchange.
