Interesting historical theory. But clearly this is being pushed by the greenies doing their usual global whining.

Great flood ping!

[Coyoteman]

Interesting.

I don’t care what some scientist immagine as a theory, its wrong.

GGG ping

Have you got a competing theory?

The true story of Noah’s Ark (Global Flood).

[ASA Vet]

Hey Doc, was there a global flood?

Hey Doc, was there a global flood?

There is no convincing scientific evidence of a global flood about 4350 years ago, the time most commonly ascribed by Biblical scholars to that event.

These writers are almost eight years late to this story. Ryan and Pittman proposed this theory in their book, Noah's Flood back in 2000.

Also, I expect these Anatolian farmers took their Indo-European language with them too. Further, this flood may be why some Europeans migrated all the way to China.

How about a regional flood in the Black Lake area?

I think a lot of the Great Flood legends are dim memories of a possible asteroid or comet crash off the US East Coast around 10,000 BC that may have caused massive flooding of the eastern Atlantic shoreline from impact-generated tsumanis. It also could be the result of early humans watching ice dams collapse from the receding glaciers at the end of the last great Ice Age, which flooded huge swaths of land.

So you believe a guy built a boat and loaded up his family and two of all the animals species on the world so they could weather a giant storm and then repopulate a world completely devoid of life?

I was reading one of those Christian Answers sites the other day and they were theorizing that God placed all the animals in suspended animation so they could be easily stacked and packed into the ark. Makes about as much sense as Al Gore’s belief the earth has some ideal climate that would never change if not for SUVs and plastic grocery bags.

[ASA Vet]

Well it was a lake prior to it’s flooding.

It also could be the result of early humans watching ice dams collapse from the receding glaciers at the end of the last great Ice Age, which flooded huge swaths of land.

That seems more plausible.

Aryans to North America 4400 years ago? That’s a new one to me.
