The Black Sea Speaks:
"Science... has found evidence for a massive deluge that may ... have inspired Noah's tale. About 7,500 years ago, a flood poured ten cubic miles of water a day--130 times more than flows over Niagara Falls - from the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea, abruptly turning the formerly freshwater lake into a brackish inland sea."2
"In 1993, William Ryan and Walter Pitman of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory dug up cores of sediment from the bottom of the Black sea. The cores showed that the sea's outer margins had once been dry land, indicating it had been two-thirds its present size. Furthermore, over the entire sea bottom was a thin, uniform layer of sediment that could only have been deposited during a flood. The researchers also found that within that layer saltwater mollusks appear, all from the Mediterranean and all dating
from around 7600 years ago."
But this is evidence
against a global flood. If true, and it is still disputed, it shows that the land area around the Black Sea was
dry at the time of the innundation: thus this was a local, although catastrophic event. In order to fit this into flood geologfy. you have to propose a global flod - then a retreat - and then
and only then an innundation of the Black Sea. Total nonsense.
For Whigs admit no force but argument.
