what are you talking about?

When a flood/asteroid slut brought this up, I asked Dallas_Abbott about what she thought and was surprised when she answered my email, telling me she wasn't a creationist.

Quote:
Abbott received her B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Earth and Planetary Sciences) in 1974; her M.S. from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (Marine Geology) in 1978; and her Ph.D. from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Marine Geology with a Geophysics minor) in 1982.[4]
In my book she is someone in the scientific community.

Ancient Crash, Epic Wave

discusses her work.

Now whether this is the Noah flood is pretty fucking dubious, I agree

Sotto's comments don't exactly make this thread easy to follow, but you seem to be discussing a flood in 2800 also - your flood is reasonable but Dallas' is LOL?

It seems to me there may have been a super flood but it is unlikely that this was the basis of the various myths.

I should have stated someone with credibility LOL

she has no basis for the chevrons, I have been over her work before. she fails



until they date the impact zone, there are peeing into a headwind, then they have to date the chevrons accurately and have the work show a simularity.

the flood of 2900 BC is attested

Dallas flood is a poor guess, not followed by 99.9999% of the scientific community

The impact site would have created a huge tsunami, when is the question. The chevrons are not proof and probably wind made.







After the last ice age people migrated to and settled next to rivers not knowing some flood out every 3000 years, 1000, 500, 100 ect ect ect. This devistated many cities around the world as it floods everywhere on the globe. You also have tsunamis and hurricanes that account for many flood legends.

but the flood legends in Israel and Mesopotamia and surrounding areas all have a origin to the 2900 BC attested Euphrates river flood.

The BSD falls on its face for two major reasons. 1 it would have been to early for oral transmission to last that long. and its not dated either.





So we are left with 1 highly probably flood and alot of poor guesses after the fact.

The best evidence as the origin of the Mesopotamian legends that put's all those crator nut jobs to bed is this.


Noahs legend spawned from the Meopotamian legends, this legend evolved from a river flood to a sea flood.
