You are reaching, really reaching here. If I said the sky was blue you would
doubt me. If the water were rising at 2.7 meters per hour, how far do you
think you could run in the next hour? Go down to the sea shore, wade out to
a depth of 2.7 feet and start running. Especially if you were on a the very
flat abyssal portion. You might just have to run a hundred miles to gain
five feet of elevation. You are most likely to run for the local topographic
high, which you can see and hope to wait it out. But if the water inexoribly
keeps rising, covering your position, then you have to swim. It would be
quite sufficient to drown a lot of people especially if they had the
misconception that local hills would save them.
Riverine floods, like you seem to prefer, rise at an even slower rate than
the .85 m/h you criticize me for. For instance,in the 1927 Mississippi
river flood, the river rose 10 meters in 6 months. This is 0.0023
meters/hour. (Champ Clark, _Flood_, Time-Life Books, 1982, p. 87 Yet this
flood killed 250-500 people (p. 77)

Who requires this? What springs break forth in you Mesopotamian flood? If
springs should be central to my view, then I presume that they are to your
view also. What springs broke forth? Where are they? What is the evidence of
their breaking forth? Don't tell me that you don't know because you aren't a
geologist. You should live up to the standard you require of others.

Why does Glenn here evade the issue? Glenn has claimed he has
published a book arguing that Noah was a Homo habilis and the Flood
ocurred 5.5 MYA in the Mediterranean. The book has been reviewed by
Bill Hamilton on the Reflector. I find it most strange that Glenn
doesn't quote from his book where it touches on these issues.<<

Why should I quote myself. That would sound very, very silly. If I say that
GLENN SAID in his book, "Blah,Blah Blah..." it simply would sound ludicrous,
like my mother who always wrote of herself in the 3rd person; as if she
really wasn't in the room writing the letter she sent you. No thanks! Why
can't I simply say what I want? Occasionally, I can say it better than I did
in the book, (albeit with more typos and grammatical errors cause I don't
have my friends critique what I put here for grammar etc.)
Sorry Stephen, I find authors who quote themselves boring. I may be radical,
controversial, maddening, unorthodox, or wrong but I never want to be
boring!!!!!
