excavated?
It's widely accepted that the Med was filled by a breach of the Straits of Gibraltar, but not that the Mediterranean basin was excavated by the water in question. How would that even work?
And I would like to know where all the material that was excavated went. It must have gone somewhere. There are lots of other issues with this scenario too. I wonder if Robert has thought any of them through.

Re: excavated?
Look into the Zanclean flood theory. It says that the med was filled gradually over several months up too 2 years about 5.33 million years ago Now as I understand it wasn't the first time the med had water though, just the last time it was filled. Wiki has links you can check out and see what you think. Also you can look into the geology of the med and how it was thought to be formed and when.

Re: excavated?
I am familiar with those theories of the filling of the Med and the black sea. My confusion is to Roberts contention that the Med was excavated by a huge flood.

Re: excavated?
Look into the Zanclean flood theory.
What R.B. said was that: "the Med sea was carved out by fast flowing water into it" (my emphasis). Which is a different kettle of fish entirely.

Re: excavated?
Yes I understand you do. sorry I guess I was trying to provide this theory to support what you were saying. I guess I should ve replied to original statement about fast flowing water. I am still learning how to utilize this site effectively, sorry for any confusion.

When ever it came in the BC it still was a excavation of the land that created the Med sea. Before it was dry land which allowed rapid animal migration. in fact they find concentrations of creatures, post flood, killed and collected in some islands showing they were overthrown by this event.

Not creationist material.
What books? Please cite at least a few verifiable source for your claim that it is common. Why don't you read a little on the geology of the med. Take the time to skim over material from several sources and let me know where you find anything to support what you say is common. You will see the med has had water prior to 12 million years ago and dried up until 5 million years ago, or are those dates too old and therefore irrelevant lies that science teaches us??

They do talk anout great canyons and other evidence on the floor showing powerful moving water.
anyways it would be from some carving and then possibly some infilling from other events.
Let its the new big thing about the origin of the med.

Re: excavated?
The material would be the origin of the areas in North africa. in fact the material for the pyramids. I imagine water carving out a basin and depositing material on the sides and then some infilling from the mts in europe filling it in again. The origin for fossil life above the k-t line north and south of the Med is from this event as i see iot and it fits biblical boundaries.

They do talk anout great canyons and other evidence on the floor showing powerful moving water.
And they say that these canyons correspond to rivers which drained into the basin while it was a desert.
And no-one (well, no geologist, I can't speak for the creationists, who might say anything) says that the basin as a whole was produced by the breach of the straits. It had to be there already, as proved by drilling and indeed by common sense, since the Atlantic had to have something to flow into.

* sigh *
Water washes sediment down, not up.
And it flows down, not up. The Atlantic could rapidly pour into the Mediterranean Basin only because there was a Mediterranean Basin.
You creationists seem to employ water like a bulldozer, as though it could push anything anywhere you wanted it. You want it to shovel sediment out of the ground here, dump it over there --- but it's water, dammit, it obeys various laws of physics rather than your whims.

its new ideas that water flooded into the area in a big way and anyways it filled the area up with water.
It simply was so powerful it lowered the basin and threw the sediment on top of the boundaries.
The great fossil assemblages on all sides i see as from this short event about a century or two after the flood.

New? The phrase "Zanclean flood" is two years older than I am.

Again I would point out that water is not a bulldozer. It can't push things hither and thither just because you want it to. Nor does it need to. All the geological evidence shows that the Mediterranean is a perfectly ordinary ocean, like the Atlantic, with which it is contiguous.
