No, not necessarily. Geologic evidence exists that suggest the occurence of one or several massive flooding events in prehistoric times. Probably the greatest single event might have been the refilling of the Mediterranean after the last ice age. There are suggestions that in the Mediterranean basin there were two lakes, ';one a fresh-water lake, in the eastern depression, which drained into the other in the western depression. It is interesting to think what must have happened when the ocean level rose once more as a result of the dissipation of the ice-sheets, and its waters began to pour over into the Mediterranean area. The inflow, small at first, must have ultimately increased to enormous dimensions, as the channel was slowly lowered by erosion and the ocean level slowly rose. If there were any unconsolidated materials on the sill Of the Strait, the result must have been a genuine debacle, and if we consider the length of time which even an enormous torrent would take to fill such a basin as that of the Mediterranean, we must conclude that this result was likely to have been attained in any case. Now, this may seem all the wildest speculation, but it is not entirely so, for if we examine a submarine contour map of the Straits of Gibraltar, we find there is an enormous valley running up from the Mediterranean deep, right through the Straits, and trenching some distance out onto the Atlantic shelf. This valley or gorge is probably the work of the inflowing waters of the ocean at the termination of the period of interior drainage.';





This refilling of the Mediterranean, which by the rough chronology we are employing in this book may have happened somewhere between 30,000 and 10,000 B. C., must have been one of the greatest single events in the pre-history of our race. If the later date is the truer, then, as the reader will see plainly enough after reading the next two chapters, the crude beginnings of civilization, the first lake dwellings and the first cultivation, were probably round that eastern Levan-tine Lake into which there flowed not only the Nile, but the two great rivers that are now the Adriatic and the Red Sea. Suddenly the ocean waters began to break through over the westward hills and to pour in upon these primitive peoples the lake that had been their home and friend, became their enemy; its waters rose and never abated; their settlements were submerged, the waters pursued them in their flight. Day by day and year by year the waters spread up the valleys and drove mankind before them. Many must have been surrounded and caught by the continually rising salt flood. It knew no check; it came faster and faster; it rose over the tree-tops, over the hills, until it had filled the whole basin of the present Mediterranean and until it lapped the mountain cliffs of Arabia and Africa. Far away, long before the dawn of history, this catastrophe occurred. (See source #1 below).





Another fllod theory is the recently disclosed and much-discussed refilling of the freshwater glacial Black Sea with water from the Aegean, was described as ';a violent rush of salt water into a depressed fresh-water lake in a single catastrophe that has been the inspiration for the flood mythology'; (Ryan and Pitman, 1998). The marine incursion, which was caused by the rising level of the Mediterranean, occurred around 7,600 years ago. It remains an active subject of debate among archaeologists, with subsequent evidence discovered to both support and discredit the existence of the flood, while the theory that it formed the basis for later flood myths is subjective and unprovable. Although this theory has to withstand pressure from other scientists, German researchers maintain the concept of a catastrophic flood around 5,500 BC and present the theory that this event also is the basis for Plato's Atlantis account.





An alternative theory proposed by Andrey Tchepalyga of the Russian Academy of Sciences dates the flooding of the Black Sea basin to an earlier time and from a different cause. According to Tchepalyga, global warming beginning from about 16,000 BP caused the melting of the Scandinavia Ice Sheet, resulting in massive river discharge that flowed into the Caspian Sea, raising it to as much as 50m above normal present-day levels. The rise was extremely rapid and the Caspian basin could not contain all the floodwater, which flowed through the Kuma-Manych Depression and Kerch Strait into the ancient Black Sea basin. By the end of the Pleistocene this would have raised the level of the Black Sea by some 60鈥?0m to about 20m below its present-day level, and flooding large areas that were formerly available for settlement or hunting. Tchepalyga suggests this may have formed the basis for legends of the great Deluge.





Thus, there are several events with compelling geologic evidence to support the notion of a massive flood, one that, if not global, would have seemed so for the inhabitants of the region in which the flooding occured.

False. Jesus believed the Bible's account of the Flood was factual. At Matt. 24:37-39. Jesus said: ';For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.聽For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39聽and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away.';
True. In fact, there is evidence from a half a dozen independent sources, each of which proves absolutely that no such event ever occurred.
It is clear you do not know your geology, history or bible, actually Noah never wrote anything that we are aware of.
