I was talking to a friend of mine about how I'd heard that most flood myths
originated from an event that may have happenned in the Tigris and Euphrades
delta area a few thousand years ago. So, is there evidence that a flood in
that valley may have turned into "THE FLOOD?"

Part 2: my friend said he'd heard of "geological evidence" of the ocean level
rising a couple hundred feet sometime during humanity's existence. Sounds
like creationist pseudo-science to me. Anyone know where this idea came from?

Thanks,

Ken.
