where it says
>>In 1997, William Ryan and colleagues suggested that the partial filling of
the Black Sea 7100 years ago was the source of the legend for Noah's flood.
They suggest that the flood spread farmers throughout Europe and moved
people out of the Black Sea to the south, carrying the legend with them. I
don't think this will work for several reasons. It doesn't match the
description of the Biblical flood. If all we christians want is a flood, any
old flood regardless of what it is like the this will do as well as the next
flood. But if we want to match the Biblical account, the Black Sea Flood
won't do at all.>>
Well, Glenn, you've done it again! Glenn, I have a lot of
accounting experience. Not only that, I scored a 760 on my
math SAT (before they made it easier).
Once again, I scratch my head.
The Bible places the flood somewhere between 2000 and 3000 B.C.
What is your Biblical rationale for posting this type of information?
Jim
