From the LA Times, scientists now believe Britain was cut off from Europe by massive floods:
Scientists using sonar to probe the floor of the English Channel have found that Britain was sliced from the European continent by massive prehistoric floods that cut it off from human migration for 120,000 years.
The new research, published today in the journal Nature, found evidence of at least two floods between 180,000 and 450,000 years ago.
But I thought this sort of thing took millions of years to do, just like the Grand Canyon? I thought catastrophism was only for creationists?
Still, there's no way this could have happened in or around that great flood of Noah mentioned in the Bible. Could it? With the highly reliable dating methods scientists use these days, who knows?
