If the ocean wasn't rising 10,000 years ago, where did the water come from that covered Beringia?

Was that when Noah's Ark was floating?

I prefer science:

NASA GISS: The Great Ice Meltdown and Rising Seas -2012

Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene- PNAS 2014


Re the research paper above published in PNAS:
"Ice started melting about 16,000 years ago, with this melting ending about 8,000 years ago. A slowdown in sea level changes didn’t occur until 6,000 years ago, however".

"The rise in sea levels seen over the past century is unmatched by any period in the past 6,000 years, according to a lengthy analysis of historical sea level trends.

In very simple terms, the last Ice Age ended around 11,000 years ago.

Default Sea levels will rise, experts warn, and 'it's not going to stop'

It's a metaphor.

There are worse things in the world than water.

Yes and the ice started melting at that time as the Earth warmed. And there was a mini ice age in the middle ages and after that the ice started melting again and has since then. But the church of GMA disputes this.

Climate scientists don't doubt that the last ice age occurred or ended. I'm not sure what your GMA conspiracy-theorist acronym of the week stands for. If you don't understand the link between greenhouse gases and warming, you might Google that. If you don't understand projections of warming in light of industrial-age Greenhouse Gas emissions--that's another subject for Googling. If you think that human beings--or human civilization--have existed contemporary with the warming predicted by the most up-to-date climate models, then you might want to rethink your beliefs.
