We need documentation of an event that happened circa 2100 BC.

It looks like Nature tried it's best, to turn this particular rock into Jade!……and Failed!

If this is the case, then I have a piece of toast with a Nice Picture of "Einstein" on it!
I'm submitting to EBAY in a couple of days.

It is now theorized that the Black Sea may have been formed by a single flood event from the Mediterranean, as there is alot of evidence of habitation under that sea. Likewise, there is video evidence of structures under the Dead Sea which could be the settlements of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Bible is full of scientific and historic truisms which were recorded as legend, or older legends which were appropriated as mythic truths, and were never intended to be taken as literal. Every society creates its own mythology and creation myths to justify itself to itself. The job of archaeologists is to eventually distill these out. For example, we have no historic evidence of Moses' existence or large crowds living in the Sinai for forty years, but this legend came from somewhere or was created in response to some real historic social event or purpose..

Likewise, the crossing of the Red Sea reflects an ancient legend of the Arabian peninsula. It's great central desert is called a "Sea", and you cross it by following the volcanic ridge along the west coast. The volcano craters glow at night (pillars of fire) and smoke by day (pillars of smoke), hence the legend of Moses evading the Egyptians across a "Sea" led by smoke and fire. Perhaps realistic if someone crossed not the top of the Red Sea, but the bottom. Or more likely, the old regional truism was appropriated by someone wishing to embellish a creation mythology for a new people or movement.

UT is a fun place

mindless 'reporting' of fiction written in sciencebabble jargon.

Thanks jesus for disclosing some secrets.

Now what about this walking on water ?

The resulting impact wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah and saved the election for George by 500 votes. The angels (aliens) that got Lot and his family out were under orders to do so from Galactic High Command.

"You also have to keep in mind the limited knowledge of astronomy to people thousands of years ago.

Imagine not having telescopes, or knowing about asteroids, and seeing such an event. Even today, and impact like this would be a terrifying event to anyone seeing it firsthand, scientist or not!"

Precisely Dark Gnat. When the Bible speaks of floods that 'cover the whole Earth' and 'burning Sulphur raining down' on a place, it is easy to see how modern scientific interpretations of events could be described in such a way by earlier people – it is worth bearing in mind that modern scientific knowledge is merely hundreds of years old after all.

What pisses me off is everyone being so pig-headed and literal about it all, which goes for religious zealots and hard-headed atheists alike. Both these extreme positions seem completely reactionary to me – they seem to define their own positions entirely in terms of the opposing point of view, which hardly qualifies for original or inspired thought in my book.

He does, it seems, like to play with marbles….
