You are both right. Nessie is right about this specific time frame.
Emanuel Velikovsky wrote about catastrophes during or predating
biblical times.
Prudy is right because Once you realize that catastrophes happen routinely,
then it's no surprise that a catastrophe brought on the dark ages.
Velikovsky was a catastrophist when science
mostly believed that world events were steady state, long duration,
and NO dramatic events as described in the bible. This attitude was
a scientific backlash against what we would call today " creationists."
Velikovsky is a hero to me. I don't know how much of his theories will
ultimately wind up being true, but assholes like Carl Sagan persecuted
him for claiming that asteroids and comets could affect history, and
that evolution occurred in something other than long slow periods of time.
Then years later Sagan backed the " asteroid theory " of the disappearance
of the dinosaurs. Wadda schmuck.
