Black Sea Flood
In all likelihood, there was a flood, albeit, not quite of Biblical proportions, but huge enough to be written about by different people.
We forget that myths don't generally spring out of thin air. There is almost always something actual that precipitates. It later synthesizes through embellishment.

“I know where I am and who I am. I'm on the brink of disillusionment, on the eve of bitter sweet. I'm perpetually one step away from either collapse or rebirth. I am exactly where I need to be. Either way I go towards rebirth, for a total collapse often brings a rebirth." -Andrew Jaramillo

Re: Black Sea Flood
Stop trying to treat this as a civil dispute where everyone has certain rights. Everyone does NOT have the right to their own facts. In the Creationist/Evolutionist debate, the facts are not equal on both sides of the debate. In fact, the Evolutionists have the facts on their side, Creationists have only religious belief.
We're discussing the Flood, as presented in the Bible. I'm merely giving my take on it. I believe that there was a very large and catastrophic flood, based on the evidence, and that in the minds of the writers who wrote about it (Moses was not the only one) that it encompassed the whole world.
I haven't made mention to anyone's rights or treated it as a civil dispute. I'm just throwing my opinion out there.
