"By the way, blam, a local historian told me on Tuesday, that a team of archaeologists working on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is shortly to publish a paper that will “blow the lid off” currently accepted theories of the peopling of the Americas. He said the archaeologists found tools that they have dated to 20,000 years ago. I’ll keep you posted on this."

Excellent news. But, only 20,000 years ago?

"Actually this gives credence to the idea that clovis were solutrians who followed the ice edges in small boats from europe to america. the currents would have been favorable for this venture."

Yup.

Immigrants From The Other Side (Clovis Is Solutrean?)

Imagine that the Gulf Of Mexico was blocked off from the world’s oceans like the Black Sea.

Yeah, I think they’re from somethin’ else. :’)

The ice age was caused by the flood of Noah.

The irregular bottom surface of the glacier would have then been resting on the floor causing the normal currents seen now to turn around and reverse their flow until the glacier retreated leaving the icebergs trailing behind?

I’m just having trouble imaging an iceberg touching the bottom of the ocean since it is buoyant; ah, this is too deep for me right now.

It rained for 40 days and 40 nights and then froze solid and created the ice age? Or do you mean the end of the ice age caused Noah’s flood? Or is Noah’s flood a mythical memory of the end of the ice age?
