"Also, some scholars note that the Bible's version has Noah living in a desert in Mesopotamia, while the pre-flood coastline of Turkey was a lush, forested area."

And he built a boat big enough for all of the creatures of the land out of what... cacti?

Some scholars have said the engulfing could be the Biblical flood of Noah. Others say the theory lacks any scientific premise and complain it could overshadow the more noteworthy experiments that will take place.

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important." - C.S. Lewis

Sure would hate for the world to find irrefutable, tangible proof of the Bible's veracity!

What is also interesting is that there are almost 30 different flood stories from different cultures around the world, most with many of the same characteristics of teh flood of the Bible.

Seems to me they were doing a survey of teh Mediteranean once, and found anhydrite on the seaflorr under silt.
Anhydrite forms in salt flats.
On bare ground.
Wouldn't that also mean that the Med was once much lower as well?
And wouldn't the Med rising, eventually, effect the Black Sea?
(Water weight added to crustal plates, subduction, and added geologic stress? Thus, more eathquakes, more volcanism, and basically the reshaping of the whole area?)

The evidence is in the bible, that's where they should be looking.

and submerged up to 100,000 square kilometers (60,000 square miles) of land.

It looks like nobody caught this "I'm bad at math" moment. That should be just under 40,000 square miles. The number is a multi-dimensional unit, so you have to do the unit conversion in each dimension.

I'm guessing this is a journalism major trying to use math beyond their ability.

"Also, some scholars note that the Bible's version has Noah living in a desert in Mesopotamia, while the pre-flood coastline of Turkey was a lush, forested area."

It's interesting that we don't know just where Noah lived before the flood. The ark floated freely for five months, after all, and it is said that after doing that, it came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

How far can a large vessel drift in five months? He could have started out from what's now South America, for all we know.

Another interesting thing is the expression "fountains of the deep." This could refer to radical vertical shifting of the Earth's crust. Maybe what is now the Black Sea was a flat plain before the flood and, like the dead sea, it just sank into the ground.
