Type up a fast and loose summary of a chapter from an undergraduate geology textbook with a pretty cutaway graphic of plate tectconics. Add some quotes from scripture and some verbal arm waving with the word “flood” capitalized throughout to suggest there was exactly one big undisputed flood event (unsupported by geological evidence btw), and Voila, instant creationist article.
Yeah it really is silly. At least go with something that is fairly well attested geologically, like the inundation of the Black Sea or something.
This chasing after every cataclysmic Deluge seems to be leading us farther and farther afield from the Biblical text, especially since it is admitted by almost everyone that the Sumerian flood story and the Biblical one are describing the same event. I know a localized sediment stratum at Shuruppak or Ur is not exactly the worldwide deluge we were expecting, but isn’t it smarter to just start there?
