Granpa, the historical account of the world wide flood of Noah's day cannot even possibly be about a flood of the black sea unless the flood of the black sea was part of the world-wide flood of Noah's day.

For the children. It's ok for you to believe the flood has any historical validity but we can't let future generations go around looking like fools. You see while other children across the globe are using geological sciences to advance their societies our will be falling back into the dark ages believing that these absurd new earth mythologies.

In the past your claim has been that it was about 7 -10,000 years. When I showed you an article from those famous 'liars for Jesus', AiG...that gave the date at 2348 BCE, you changed your claim to 5 -7,000.

It was either a preposterous lie or a weak metaphor, take your pick.
