Re: Gilgamesh, read the book I linked to above.

The rest: Poppycock and double poppycock.

My first college incarnation was as a geology student. I also have studying a fair bit about the Bible.

The interesting thing about the "flood" is that there IS evidence that costal areas DID suffer wide spread flooding over a large area in the Mediteranian area several thousand years ago, but there is absolutely no evidence that there was a cataclysmic world wide flood.
