I have not been "beating" Glenn with anything. I have simply critiqued
his 5.5 MYA Homo habilis Mediterranean Flood model, from the Bible.

I propose nothing more than that they were "subterranean springs",
based on the Biblical texts:
Gn 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth
day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep
burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
Gn 8:2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens
had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.

Glenn can "suggest" all he likes! :-) In critiquing a scientific
theory it is not encumbent for the critic to offer his own theory.
Glenn's theory has to stand on its own two feet.
Glenn knows I am not a geologist and I don't pretend to be one. I am
mainly concerned with being faithful the the *Biblical* picture. IMHO
Glenn's Mediterranean Flood model is not consistent with the Biblical
picture.
I have posted my reasons for this is detail, and I see no point in
continuing this fruitless debate with Glenn.
God bless.
Stephen
