“The Solent remains are 8000 years old, not 6 million.”

I would have said that the Solent remains are said to be 8000 years old, not 6 million. I just like to distinguish between what I know and what I’ve been told!

But yes, that was exactly my point. If it’s said to be stone age, then it would have to be dated in the thousands of years.

1) That’s a massive flood on the thousands of years timescale, backing up the biblical account which has been denied for so long by the anti-Christian left.

2) That is not an isolated area so it would be a worldwide flood.

No, your point was to take one of the links which isn’t directly relevant to this millions of years old Mediterranean dessication. The repeated isolation of and drying out of the Mediterranean isn’t anywhere in the Bible.

The rise of geology led to the undermining of the divine right of kings, and that’s what it was intended to do.

The result however was to categorically reject catastrophism, because it was tied to a few Biblical accounts (the Noachian Flood, the destruction of the Cities of the Plain, and the Ten Plagues; also found are the tipping of the Earth’s axis in the story of the sundial of Ahaz, the destruction of Sennacherib’s army, perhaps a few others).

The reason for the paleontological boundaries is that the strata were laid down by a single (or single set of) catastrophic event(s). This has happened numerous times over the billions of years of Earth’s existence.
