Actually Rex, you are as much a 'crackpot' as any of those who write "flood" books. In the usual mode of intellectual INTOLERANCE, you seek to insinuate that only your world view is valid. Fundy elitists constantly use this tactic in every arena, be it academic, religious or political.
You have based your belief system on the shaky foundations of theories unprovable but eminently popular with those of your ilk: the pro-God gnostics and theists.
; Plenty of religious books have been written over the years proving the reality of The Flood. Every one has turned out to the work of a genius. I have about a dozen of these in my library.
"Look at me! I am Rex B13 and I have proven all of the Bible to myself and others. I am superior to all who disagree with my opinion". That's how I see you.

Morally, politically or economically several world views can be taken as equally valid. Intellectually, they cannot. Either there was a global flood or there wasn't. It either actually happened or it did not. Honest thinkers will not just "agree to disagree" on such subjects. They will look at the evidence and come to a reasoned conclusion. They will not accept that false conclusions based on faulty evidence are valid.
