Glenn Morton hypothesis: The Flood could ONLY have happened 5 million+ years ago

Glenn Morton hypothesis:
The Flood could ONLY have happened 5 million+ years agoHi, I just found this forum today. Looks like a lot of interesting discussions are going on!For the last six months or so I've been discussing creation/evolution at a theology forum. I went from hard-core YEC to OEC to confused OEC/theistic evolutionist. I almost lost my faith, but decided I'd hang on even if modern science couldn't be reconciled with Scripture...Now I'm working through the issues separating OEC from TE, which I realize could take the rest of my life - and then some But in a number of discussions at the other forum, a vocal member GRMorton (Glenn Morton) has continually brought up his argument that his vast geological studies prove conclusively (in his mind at least) that the Flood could NOT have occurred any more recently than FIVE MILLION YEARS AGO.THE REASON: He says the Flood would not have been sustainable and that the waters would have been dumped into a nearby sea within a few weeks...With this in mind, he has expanded his study to anthropology to prove that modern man lived as far back as five million years ago. He justifies this belief using evidences of tools and religion, which he believes date back that far.I don't know geology (or anthropology for that matter), but for a number of reasons, I don't buy his arguments. Few people do. Yet he has spent the last 10+ years developing his ideas (online @ http://home.entouch.net/dmd/dmd.htm), and he kind of argues his points incessantly The Flood isn't often discussed at this other forum, so I thought there might be some geologist types here who could shed some light on this subject.Are there any (non-YEC) geological studies online (or offline) that anyone is aware of that would dispute his claim that the Flood COULD NOT have occurred more recently than five million years ago?-Edited by mpb1, : No reason given.
