(Sigh). No, Stephen. Hsu's flooding of the Mediterranean would have taken
100 years IF the rates of infill were what he cited. I have calculated that
the Mediterranean could be filled up in 8 months if the collapsed region at
Gibraltar was 15 miles wide, 3000 feet deep with the water going at 15 miles
an hour. Due to friction, water can not travel faster than about 20 miles
per hour on earth.
Because of this, the other statements you make about the time of in fill are
also wrong. Such as
>>It seems the rate of Glenn's filling of the Mediterranean was so slow,
that it would have left plenty of time for everyone to escape?<<
and
>>"Quickly" meaning over "more than 100 years"!<<

Science works by adding things on as needed to given theories. I do not
believe that your demand for springs is necessary, but if they are necessary
for you, they can be added on to the theory. Who knows, you may be correct
here. I certainly could not prove you wrong. I don't add them grudgingly. I
just am not sure that having a spring at Gibraltar is necessary. If you do,
there they are.

Lets start a rumor here. Maybe there is no book. :-)
