    Hello Glenn,

    Thank you for your response.

    You wrote: the earthquake caused by the meteor would be of the same nature as
    that of a large quarry blast or nuclear bomb test. The ground shakes, but
    doesn't drop or lift, except within the immediate blast zone.

    That is not the opinion of another scientist I have discussed this subject
    with.

    He told me that, "A large meteor impact will produce earthquakes ... the down
    and up motion that you need for your model ... is produced by ... a
    particular sequence of tectonic events ... [which] may be possible."

    You wrote: The 1908 Tunguska event created a crater about a mile wide and the
    land didn't life or drop.

    For one thing, if the alleged "meteor crater" recently discovered in southern
    Iraq is indeed a meteor crater it is a much larger crater than the one to
    which you refer. As such the meteor which created it would have struck the
    earth with far greater force than the one which struck Siberia. Also to be
    considered is the fact that the meteor which formed the meteor crater in Iraq
    may have been only one of several which then stuck that are of the world. For
    the Gilgamesh epic refers to "seven" torches in the sky which smashed into
    the earth at the time of the flood. Finally, the earth beneath the Tunguska
    area of Siberia may be much more solid and stable than the earth beneath
    southern Iraq and Kuwait which is, as we know, peppered with pockets of oil.

    However, as the scientist who told me that my model for Noah's flood
    occurring in southern Mesopotamia "may be possible" also told me, my scenario
    "requires documentation of appropriate faults and evidence of major
    earthquakes" in that area of the world.

    Mike
