The question is where did the water that flow to the sea, that fast with that much force come from? Wouldn't a glacier be more likely to cut out the channel... you might have had as the ice age glacier retreated back up the channel to the north and ice dam form to hold back water for a final flood

...instantly turned Britain from being a peninsula of continental Europe into a separate entity, changing forever the way it would develop.

Ya think?

*yawn*

>The question is where did the water that flow to the sea, that fast with that much force come from?<

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Water erupted from beneath the earth.At that time land was suspended on a layer of water.This eruption may also explain fossils that have been discoverd at the Poles which are totaly out of place and the formation of the ice caps.

I agree, it's a fascinating book and theory.

I'd like to see much more money for underwater archeology around the ancient lake shore.

You have a peninsula, water levels the same on both sides. Where did the water come from for the flood?

Interesting article.

I cannot post now, but Pittman and Ryan's theory is under debate by a quite a few geologist. The crux of the argument is that the Sea of Marmara (between the Aegean and Black Sea)shows evidence of water flow from the Black Sea to the Aegean 5,000 years before the Black Sea deluge. In other words, the two were connected before 5,700 BC date that Pittman and Ryan gave for the deluge.

These same geologist do think that the two bodies were seperated, but the joining happened earlier and thus kiss the Noah's flood memory goodbye that Pittman and Ryan are advancing.

I will try to post the links later if anybody is interested.

Noah's flood of Gen 7:11 was a global flood covering the total earth and not a localized flow of water to cut a channel between two points of dry land

Thanks for the ping.

There is an interesting comment farther down in the article -- that this sudden and massive erosion is only comparable to similar erosion channels on Mars -- which indicates that Mars had oceans.

If it hadn't happened then we wouldn't have had this scenario:


Recently at a French airport, a group of American retired teachers arrived on a tour.

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group.

At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carryon.

"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible!" barked the officer. "Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France."

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

There was an ice dam on the other side of the chalk ridge where fresh water pooled. Such ice dams existed in North America. One sat across where the St. Lawrence Seaway flows and blocked it to form a giant lake that encompassed all the Great Lakes today. It sounds like a similar ice dam existed around this area in Europe. The chalk ridge would be very soft and, once overtopped by rising fresh water levels, a channel would be very quickly eroded. Note that this channel isn't as wide as the English Channel, but is a geological feature under it. The breach didn't form the English channel, but it was the initial knife slice that seaprated Britain from Europe.

Heh! Very good. Thanks. The reception he got from this snotty frog shows why he had not gone back to France since 1944.

Yep. Mountains, rocks, land are suspended on water all the time!

There is a slight problem with bouyancy, Archimedes, density, physics, etc., etc. But with enough faith in a book written by goatherders, everything can be floated.
