David: No I don't believe in a global flood. But continental drift and the separation of the original pangaea, the raising and lowering of continental height levels have created many examples as you know of previous inland seas. That can create the impression of a global flood. I can certainly buy the idea of a Black Sea flood with the end of the last ice age, with the formation of ice dams and innundation of the Black Sea. Lots of recent evidence for that scenario. If you believe the Noah story the seas rose to 20 (?) cubits above the highest mountain which we know as Everest, about 6 miles high. Not likely.

More recent work I'ved seen, but can't currently reference,in studying sediments does not have their problem.-I actually was not/am not trying to prove a global flood, I was merely referencing the fact that apparently much of what is dry land was once under water.
