Noah's Flood

[shuckmaster]

Based on my limited study of post ice age civilization, a fresh water Black Sea fed by rapidly melting glaciers would be as perfect a breeding ground for early human pre-civilization as any place on earth. Plenty of fresh fish and game, the sea is large enough to prevent any one tribe from completely conquering all while the long circular shoreline allows plenty of interaction between bordering groups. The surrounding mountains allows attacked groups to retreat to safety only to merge back with the amalgamated shore group a generation later. Over 6,000 years, the many individual groups would benefit from any advances in technology any one group invented and all the groups would adapt a similar language. A sudden saltwater flood at 5600BC would not only not only permanently cover their villages but would kill the local food supply forcing the population to disperse in different directions.

Anyone still believe Noah's Flood wasn't real?
