What I was saying is if there was an authoritative revelation of an historic event, a global flood, and subsequent observation agrees, then one would expect that the previously held belief that the world has been continuously passive biologically, geologically and atmospherically (if thats how its been) would have to be reviewed in light of the new reality.
In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens mentioned a city called "London" and a city called "Paris" and something called the "French Revolution". If subsequent observations agree that London and Paris exist and that the French Revolution happened, does the rest of the book become more authoritative? Does every event in the book become part of the "new reality"?
