Glenn must give the *exact* locations with references of these "two basins"
and that they were of the dimensions to allow the Mediterranean to be
filled in only 150 days, if his 5.5 mya Mediterranean Flood theory is to have
any credibility.
GM>I have to go catch a plane so maybe more later.
Unfortunately, "maybe" is not good enough! Glenn has made great play
about how other Flood theories do not fit the geological evidence. If he
fails to show that his own 5.5 mya Mediterranean Flood theory fits the
geological evidence, then his theory is no better than them. In fact its
worse, because it already doesn't fit the Biblical or anthropological
evidence!
