Geologists speculate on Noah's flood NEW YORK (AP) - What?! New scientific proof demonstrating that the great biblical Flood really did occur thousands of years ago? Such is the sensational but speculative implication in the new book "Noah's Flood: The New Scientific Discoveries About the Event That Changed History" by William Ryan and Walter Pitman. The authors are adjunct geology professors at Columbia University and senior scientists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Geological research does find reason to believe there was indeed a vast, sudden and deadly flood around 5,600 B.C., close enough to the possible time of Noah to fascinate biblical literalists and liberals alike. Till now the best stab at modern scientific corroboration of the Flood was the work of British archeologist Charles Leonard Woolley published in 1929.
