local flood theory or regional flood theory that posits that the flood was localized to the ancient Near East or to the Mediterranean, that maybe the Mediterranean Sea is what flooded. And so the civilizations, the known world at the time was absolutely destroyed. was brought to ruin in this aqueous cataclysm, but it was localized.

And there's a lot of good scholars who subscribe to the local flood, and they use the text. I mean, the support for their theory comes from the text. They use the same words that describe the flood in the Bible, and they derive a different meaning from those words. And then there's a theory that I subscribe to which is a global cataclysm.

So I believe that the entire Earth was subjected to cataclysm, but that the effect of the cataclysm was variegated, depending on where you happen to be located on planet Earth. So if you were living in the coastal regions or on the bank of a river, you experienced an aqueous cataclysm, in other words, catastrophic flooding.

And if you were living on the bank of the Mediterranean, catastrophic flooding. But if you were living in the mountains or a different region of the earth, you would have experienced a cataclysm, but with different effects. I think that there was extreme volcanism. I think that there was massive earthquakes. And I think what precipitated the flood, I'm persuaded at this point,

that what precipitated the flood was a comet impact or an asteroid impact sometime around 12,000 years ago in the neighborhood of 10,000 BC. And this, of course, is known as the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, that during the end of the last ice age, there was a cataclysmic
