It would appear the Mediterranean basin didn't flood all at once.
Glen,
I wonder if you have seen this.
cosis.net...
“In the Mediterranean region, the early Pliocene marks the restoration of open marine
conditions after the severe and prolonged Messinian salinity crisis. Recently, using
well-known variations in the relative abundance of Globigerinoides spp. and the succession
of early Pliocene bio-events recorded in several land sections in northern Italy,
it was possible to establish a new stratigraphic framework for the late Miocene - early
Pliocene. The obtained stratigraphy indicates that the re-establishment of marine conditions
after the Messinian crisis was not synchronous over the Mediterranean basin
and that the Lago-Mare environment continued to persist in some areas during the
earliest Pliocene.”
“Based on these events, it was possible to identify 2 different flooding stages in the
early Pliocene history of the Mediterranean region: during the first stage (5.33 to 5.15
Ma), right after a global sea level rise (TG5, 5.33 Ma), open marine conditions were
re-established in the deepest areas of the basin but not all locations were reached
by marine waters”
This might create some problems for your theory. BTW what was your filing of this basin in only one year based on?
Also I don't get this having to make the bible historically accurate. It has zip effect on a moral or spiritual point being made. Do you believe only factual accounts can be divinely inspired.
What about JC's parables? Is the table of contents inspired? The guys who picked the books to include all believed in transubstantiation. Do you? If not, how do you figure they got that so wrong, but got the books right.(other than the 5 pitched by protestants)
