Funny how so many people refer to the book of Genesis as if all that crazy impossible stuff really happened. About 7,000 years ago, the world's oceans had just finished rising about 400 feet over the last 10,000 or 15,000 years...sometimes quickly enough to wipe out coastal communities.

What if that whole story is just made up from scraps & fragments of memories of real events? Read "Noah's Flood" by Ryan & Pitman. Random relevant fact: The world ocean rose approx. 400 feet as the last Ice Age melted away, sometimes rising suddenly enough to wipe out coastal settlements overnight.
