If your looking for an unusual flood story and Genesis in general, take a
look at http://www.tresman.co.uk/harold/35light.htm. The author proposes
that Saturn was once a brown dwarf and Jupiter came into our system as a
rogue and the collision caused water vapor loss of Saturn which caused the
flood. Not only does it bring the flood into play, it also meshes the
various ancient religions into the theme, as well as Judaism. For the record
I completely disagree with the relation to Hebrew faith but it does give
some explanations for other near east religions. To get a better
understanding of it you might want to read it. It may sound unbelievable,
and is, but it is an interesting theory. Perhaps you and George might like
it.

Woe! "Dutch Reform" may have nothing to do with Calvin, but "Dutch
Reformed" does and I think the pastor in South Africa was meant to be
referred to as "Dutch Reformed".
