    Some on this listserve may be interested in reading this article from
    Renssellaer Polytechnic Institute.

    This is a refutation of the idea that Noah's flood was caused by a rapid
    infilling of the Black Sea by the Mediterranean about 10000 years ago. The
    filling was much more gradual.

    Didn't Glenn Morton also point out that it was unlikely that the Flood was
    connected with the Black Sea event?
