Line 56: − − ===The Walmington Pike Fossils=== − − Dr Arthur Mainwaring of Walmington University has recently discovered a series of Pike fossils whose clear definition and regular spacing suggest the prescence of dramatic tidal shifts in keeping with the Biblical description of the Great Flood. Further analysis by Jones, Fraser and Godfrey shows that the fossils in question have a notional date ratio that could only be explained by the principals laid out in Yateman's Verger, a Victorian attempt to provide a scientific basis for the Flood. Hodges disagrees. −

===Black Sea theory===
===Black Sea theory===
In 2000, explorers discovered evidence that humans lived where the [[Black Sea]] now is and speculated the sea was created during a great flood <ref>http://archives.cnn.com/2000/NATURE/09/13/great.flood.finds.ap/</ref>. Dr. Robert Ballard expanded on this theory, postulating that the Black Sea was much lower during the Ice Age (including the finding of a beach thousands of feet underwater), and when the walls holding back the Mediteranean Sea at the Bosporus broke, the sea rushed in and drowned the inhabitants; those who survived told the tale orally, and according to Ballard this became the basis for the flood accounts of Genesis and Gilgamesh [http://www.nationalgeographic.com/blacksea/ax/frame.html]. This theory is dependent on a localized flood, and not the world-wide flood as recorded in Genesis and many other cultural traditions.
