Does A Global Flood Make The Whole Bible Less Credible?

[Nitro]

Excellent post!

But as a Catholic I go with the Bible!

I really enjoy your post, blam. You must be an intresting fella or gal.

"I really enjoy your post, blam. You must be an intresting fella or gal."

Thanks. I'm just an old hermit fart. If you'll click on my profile you'll see for yourself. I spent 20 years in your city living in Bellaire and Richmond before moving here.

Thera is (and was) a tiny island as well.

Yes, but the Minoan civilization extended far beyond it. It was a catastrophic eruption that essentially ended the civilization and the fact that it became a legend is not at all surprising.

No doubt about it. The Mediterranean shoreline is much further inland than it used to be. But if the tale of Atlantis is true, I think we should be looking for something that ended in cataclysm, not a gradual rise in sea levels.

The creation of the Mediterranean Sea may not have been a case of gradual rise in sea level.

Say what? The Nile emptied into the Atlantic. I don't think so.

No, the Nile and other rivers that run out of Europe into the Mediterranean eventually emptied into the Atlantic. Don't make the error of assuming the Atlantic (and the rest of the Earth's seas) has always been at the present level or that the basin of the Mediterranean has always been at its current depth.

" Don't make the error of assuming the Atlantic (and the rest of the Earth's seas) has always been at the present level or that the basin of the Mediterranean has always been at its current depth."

I agree. Another aspect to consider is the river valleys. If the worlds oceans were 300-500 feet lower than present (and the Med possibly even lower), rivers like the Nile would be in deep river valleys and not prone to flooding as it is today. If the Sphinx was there (as some suggest) 9,000 years ago, it most certainly would have been high and dry.

In 1991, Dr. Robert Schoch, a prominent geologist and professor from Boston University examined the unique weathering patterns on the Sphinx and its enclosure. His conclusions, which came after several months of analysis, were to convulse the world of archaeology. The vertical weathering patterns on the Sphinx and its enclosure, Schoch argued, were not caused by wind effect, as had previously been thought, but by water -- water from torrential rains pouring down in sheets over these ancient structures. But how could this be? Was Schoch saying that such heavy rains only fell on the Sphinx area but nowhere else at Giza?

That was impossible, retorted the Egyptologists. Not impossible, said Schoch if it is conceded that the Sphinx was built at an epoch when such rains were common in this region and that the other monuments at Giza were built long after these rains had stopped. Again impossible, replied the ruffled Egyptologists. Schoch politely shrugged his shoulders.

I don't like the way you describe yourself. I think you are a very sociable person ... and so do your doggies. :0)

"Heh heh heh."

Now, now. An open mind is always helpful. (I do try not to get to far out on the edges though, lol)
