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.

I think it’s pretty assumptive of you to tell me what you think my point is, effectively calling me a liar.

Some people just can’t stand to let others post their opinion, without posting followup after followup. I’m sorry about that sir, but I’ve been clear, concise, and friendly on this thread, but for some reason you have taken my posts as some kind of attack on you, which they are not.

Not to worry, next time I post on a thread you start, I’ll scrub your name from the “To” field, to make clear I am NOT starting a debate/argument with you personally.

I tried to create a 3-d mind image when reading the text, too hard to do, then I got to the pic., too small. So I went to the article, pic too small. I copied the pic and enlarged it--written in ?SPanish.(and very rough image quality). Otherwise, I liked the post.

But: closing Pillars of Hercules and the Med basin drop, I understand. I'm not sure of the significance, or even the structure, of the Ebro Basin.
