Megaflood? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

[logi_cal869]

It’s curious that they fail to cite a timeline for such a flood.

this event, known as the Zanclean Megaflood

"Like it never even happened."

What a crisis!!! The media must have gone bonkers!!!

If a megaflood happens a million years before a human can hear it, is it a crisis?

Of possible interest ping

Hmmm... Seems I heard about that before. IN SUNDAY SCHOOL!

Noah way

They wouldn't recognize the Flood if they were in it!

The evidence is all around them.

“Researchers believe this event, known as the Zanclean Megaflood, marked the conclusion of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, which lasted between 5.97 and 5.33 million years ago. “

They state a timeline.

[Sirius Lee]

Must have been like Death Valley on steroids prior to the flood.

You don’t say...

Imagine that.

Genesis chapters 6 through 11 might have an explanation.

BTTT.

Where did all this water come from?

Groovy.

The megaflood should’ve been thought about earlier, but it’s just to0 cool and too terrible to fathom almost. We know that water has flowed into the Mediterranean, not out from it. So once we establish that the Mediterranean was once isolated from the Atlantic Ocean and therefore dried out, what else could have happened? It couldn’t have filled up by rain or else once filled, it would continue to fill and have a net outflow. In fact, the climate being hotter and dryer before being filled, it would be more endorheic. (That’s what you call a lake that gets more inflow than outflow.)

The only other option is that it filled up from the ocean. But once the Straits of Gibraltar were breached, why suspect a trickle? The rushing water would quickly carve a deeper and deeper channel; we KNOW the Straits are deep!

The torrent of water to suddenly fill an oceanic basin must be inconceivable! It’s 17,000 feet deep, with an average depth of a mile!

And for those leaping to the next conclusion: No, this is too early for Noah, but yes, the Black Sea, which is also immense, would have filled by cataclysmic flood from the Mediterranean through the Bosphorus straits within a few thousand years of our best guess as to when Noah lived.

They might recognize a flood but might insist that it is a local event only. Despite evidence from around the world that a “megaflood” covered the earth.

From liberal tears is my guess.
