    Although there has been some reasearch done about the "great flood" and a theory has been raised about the breaking of one of the "walls" of the black sea and the ensuing flood, there is no conclusive proof of the flood ever happening as described in the bible (there was a national geographic feature on the subject).
    What is important to remember is that when the bible talks about the "whole" world being flooded it refers to the known world at that time. Thats pretty much the mediternean basin and not the world as we know it today.

    Also interesting to know is that in the folklore of all of the cultures that existed around the mediternean there is a mention of a flood that devestates the "whole" world.

    • Note, flood stories are not limited to the Mediterranean cultures.

    • There's also flood stories in virtually every ancient culture from Australia to North America

    • These flood stories still describe major catastrophes. Catastrophes much greater proportions than a normal flood.

    • If GOD created the "whole" world wouldn't he mean the "whole" world!!!

    • that's a big "if", you know instead if I dont know....the big bang, like the rest of the universe. There is no evidence of a biblical proportion flood, otherwise the rock record would show it, and so far only glacial activity has been globally discovered.
