Re: Glenn Morton at evcforum.net
He believed Adam was an australopithecine living in the Mediterranean basin five million years ago. The flood was the filling of the Mediterranean. The inpouring of the Atlantic, he says, changed the temperature enough to cause the massive rains.
Pretty far-fetched.
How is it far fetched when we read that the actual mass extinction of all humanoids did actually occur with a "flood" of Modern Homo sapiens that covered the whole earth, as they rained down upon the earth to the highest mountain tops during a 40 thousands year period of time?
It seems a pretty cleverly couched analogy or even literal report on paleontology, set down in a day befoe anyone, antwhere, ever would have been able to even entertain a more direct corrspondence with the scientific facts we now can hardly believe.

Re: Glenn Morton at evcforum.net
Have you ever actually read the story?
Have you ever read Gulliver's Travels?
There is a gnere of literary works which communicate idea from the writer to his readers using the Literary Arts in a way that allows publication to egt past the always present editors or fire ideas ver the head of people locked in a paradigm of their times which would road block a more direct itemization if what was really being said.
Until today, and not even now without such a protest from the bible bangers, still, those 22 names in the genealogy of Genesis could not have been said to have been the 22 now extinct ape-men in the ascent of modern man, which our own paleontology supports.
The correspondence between science facts and what Genesis says suggests that the subject matter is identical, but the times have changed such that now the real meaning are more clear:

Gen 8:13-14
In this "literal report on paleontology", in which the flood waters apparently stand for H. sapiens, what is the interpretation of, for example,...
Genesis 8: 13-14? "By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry."
That would have to correspond to the complete extinction of H. sapiens, if this "literal report" is to be consistent in its analogy.
Now this is an intelligent, fair, educated look at the text and the question concerning your reading comprehension and assumptions you make are good literary criticism with an opened minded look at a hypothesis being presented by which to explain what Genesis is actually telling us.
The flood water were Modern Homo sapiens.
Over the last 40,000 years at least, we helped exterminate Neanderthals, as the previous chapters said, as they clear became extinct during that time.
Gen. 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first (thousandth) year, (100,000 years after Noah's wife gave birth to the three racial stocks of Modern man: [Gen 5:31]), in the first month, (the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era), the first "day" of (the 40 thousand year trek Out-of-Africa), the (i.e.; the Pleistocene Age, or) "month," (the first "month" of Modern Homo sapiens dominance, the waters (of evolving Modern Homo sapiens) were dried up from (the great population explosion) off the earth: and (these Archaic Homo sapien species), Noah, removed (the Neanderthal paradigm that had pre-existed Modern Homo sapiens' evolution), the covering of the ark (of the world veiw according to Noahian's perceptions), and looked (upon his own biological dominance), and, behold, (this new evolution of humanity was singularly dominant on the earth), the face of the ground was dry, (the immense population exodus Out-of-Africa was over)!
Gen. 8:14 And in the second month, (the Quaternary Period), on the seven and twentieth day of the month was the earth dried, (the extinction had ended, some where in the middle to near end of the 40,000 years just past).
